In which case, you don't really want to make a copy of the folder, you want
to make a new folder and copy some of the source folder's contents to it.
List the names you want excluded...
set myList to {"Bush", "Cheney", "Rumsfeld"}
Then tell the Finder where the source folder is and where you want the new
folder created, get every item in the source folder whose name is not in the
list, and duplicate them to the new folder.
