Maybe "some" people have selective hearing.

The Congress said nothing about general money laundering laws.

Congress said the money laundering laws were to be used to catch the terrorists who were laundering money through charity groups to AlQeada.

They even used an anecdotal story about the terrorists who were buying cigarettes in NC and shipping the cigs to MI, then laundering the profits through a Muslim charity.

Your support for those who would trash the Constitution is coming through loud and clear!!!

Butcher Reno, John Ashcroft - What's the difference outside of WACO and Elian?

Both have shown their distain for freedom and the constitution. What pisses me off most about Ashcroft is that he actually FOUGHT laws like the unPatriot Act when he was a sinator. Oh! That's when Klintler was in office.

Think about this. Would you support this particular law if a Klintler, or Stalin was in charge. If not, than it's a bad law, because it WILL be used against either you, or something you support.

"The Congress said nothing about general money laundering laws. "

Here are some quotes from the October 23, 2001 House debate over the Patriot Act:
"Mr. SENSENBRENNER ...This bill also contains comprehensive money laundering provisions that will be discussed by my colleagues from the Committee on Financial Services...
Mr. OXLEY ...Title III provides a comprehensive set of tough new anti-money laundering laws and strengthens existing anti-money laundering laws. ...The bill also establishes a framework for an unprecedented public-private partnership that will have as its primary objective the identification, reporting, and disruption of financial transactions related to money laundering generally and terrorist activity specifically.

As a citizen of a republic I feel it is my duty to be informed.

And to every one: "Sailormongering" law was NOT used by the JusticeDepartment against Greenpeace!
A link to the actual law is provided in my post#69.
They were charged with illegal boarding.
