Bolivian president on U.S. no-fly list

What do Saddam Hussein, 14 of the 9/11 hijackers and Evo Morales have in common? They are a few of the notable names on the U.S. no-fly list written to stop potential terrorists from air travel. CBS news program “60 Minutes” obtained a March 2006 copy of the list which includes over 44,000 names on it. Morales' government has yet to respond to the allegations, most likely since he's got plenty to worry about at home such as civil unrest and strengthened opposition.
