There's also a blacklist on the Web of people in academia who have

Where is it?
It was released by ACTA, formerly the NAF, run by Lynne Cheney, formerly
arch-conservative Bill Bennett's heir at the National Endowment for the
Humanities, and the wife of the federal government's favorite cardiac
patient, Vice President Dick Cheney.
Imagine the joy of being a university professor, and waking up one morning
to find that a big powerful organization run by the Vice President's wife
has issued a report practically calling you a traitor.

American higher education plays down Western intellectual teachings, on
Sunday issued a stinging report that condemns colleges and faculty
members for what it calls a "blame America first" response to the
terrorist attacks of September 11.>>

You might want to wade through http://www.goacta.org/ and see if you can
find the report. I took a quick look, but my javascript and .pdf
patience levels were quickly exceeded.
I saw one of the frightened professors bleating "but I'm not a traitor" on
CNN the other day, and a smiling ACTA droid saying that their list was
merely "academic criticism." High drama.
