Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989).
See too the US Sate Department List of Designated Terrorist Organizations.
ThanKQ for the info on “providing material support” vs “treason” !
In a non-declared war situation, the most any perp could get is life in prison.
In a declared-war situation, the most any perp could get is death.
What about Julius & Ethel Rosenberg ?
There wasn’t a declared war going on, same as now, so could the penalty for breaking the law that they broke, be applied to perps doing the same thing today?
