Freezing the funds potentially going to finance terror is a good thing.

Seems some process will determine later what happens to the frozen funds so that should be the due process everyone on some level would expect.

PS, terrorist love to use our laws and freedoms agaisnt us. I do understand the need to fight back with changes in times of war like this.

For many years assets have been seized which are “suspected” of being profits from illegal drug operations with no charges, arrests, or other legal action.

Congress may overturn an executive order by passing legislation in conflict with it or by refusing to approve funding to enforce it. In the former, the president retains the power to veto such a decision; however, the Congress may override a veto with a two-thirds majority to end an executive order..

if this is true, let Congress have at it.

Who cares, the 5th Amendment has been a dead letter for quite some time.

>>>>This new executive order empowering the federal government to freeze the assets of people who threaten Iraq’s stability and its government is so broad it could be applied to any domestic opponent of the Iraq war who has assets in the U.S., charges a former Reagan administration official.

Harry Reid, are you listening??

Would this E.O. apply to businesses that have clients that are black listed?

Did FDR give the American Japanese internees a public podium during the Pacific War?

Yes, in particular, see post Post 50 on that thread for context. Frigging "Batboy" (reference to Weekly World News) Corsi strikes again, LOL!

Sad to say, but WWN is shutting down in Aug. I will miss their truth and good reporting. Yeah, and Batboy!

Bush needs to get a declaration of war so he can use his full Presidential powers. Failing that, he should withdraw our troops from Iraq, and publicly state that he is doing so under overwhelming pressure from the Senate. He should state that he is relenting to the Senate against his own better judgement. He should leave two divisions and some air power in the northern Kurdish area of Iraq to maintain a military foothold in the region, and to have a 'stablizing presence' there. Then send the remainder of the troops into Afghanistan and over the Pakistani border where the al Quaida and Taliban leadership are.

This would crush the head of the al Quaida snake, and it would allow the civil war in Iraq to rage on until hundreds of thousands of islamofacists are enjoying their virgins. Then Bush can say, "I told you so, we never should have left Iraq", to the Democrats, and the blame for the fiasco will fall on the Dems. THEN, while still having a year or so left in Office, Bush can move our troops back into Iraq to "quell the bloodshed and stabalize the region". This time though, the military invasion should be initiated under a vastly different military perspective. The new rules of engagement should be a no-holds-barred war against the swarm of al Quaida and other islamofacists who will have swept into the vacuum to gain control of much of Iraq. Leaving Iraq with the intent of coming back to a greater number of enemy to kill would, imho, be a stroke of genius.

Are you saying WorldNetDaily is shutting down?

If yes, why? Do you know?

[Calpernia]

Since Al Qaeda doesn’t belong to any country, who would he declare war against?
