Congress legislated to have terrorists kept out of the country. The Bush administration decided to ding Cat Stevens because he converted to Islam.

Congress legislated to have terrorists and their supporters kept out of the country. Cat Stevens got put on a list of supporters, either by mistake or because he is one. Either way the decision was certainly not personally made by Bush, and probably not by any of his top level political appointees.

Hell, Ted Kennedy was on the list.

Someone else named Ted Kennedy is on the list. That's the problem with a list based on names. People with the same name at least get some degree of hassle when they try to travel. And no I don't think that's "peachy keen".

GE owns NBC.....GE is a conservative corporation. Disney owns ABC. Disney is a conservative corporation.

GE isn't very political as far as I can tell. Disney isn't conservative. Most companies care more about the bottom line then partisan politics. To the extent they do care, many of them give to the Democrats and to liberal causes. The idea that "big corporation" equals "conservative" is a sterotype without much basis in reality.

Everything the British press claimed back in 2003-2005 and denied by the Bush administration, in the end, was proven to be true.

That isn't true, and I suspect you know it isn't true. "Everything" is quite a lot, and all sorts of things, some of them quite wild, where said by the British press.
