...also possible that Justice officials are as confused as everyone else about a definitive list. On Nov. 1 the department reported that from Sept. 11 to that date, 1,147 people had been detained nationwide. But at a briefing a few days later, Ashcroft spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said that senior department officials were not happy with the way the totals were being calculated.
