"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.

What is your point? Shall we start posting opposing quotes?

You don't care about money laundering or sail mongering. I never said anything about sail mongering. Go back and read the article. They were originally charged with a violation of the Shanghai law.

You are losing your grip with your religious zeal to defend your hero. We either have a Constitution and Bill of Rights or we don't. There is no middle ground.

If you allow a violation because the violator happens to be of your religious persuasion, you are commiting suicide.

You place your trust in Ashcroft because he supports your religious dogma.

What happens to you when President Hillary appoints an attorney general who goes after Christians?

You may be the first one she throws to the lions!
