I suppose giving legal advice would be included in this definition?

As I read it: Prior to this decision If Osamma were to come to an Attorney and seek advice on how to disband Al Queda and surrender, the Attorney could be put in prison for advising him on how do it.

Yes...I was thinking along the same lines. There is no big rebuke here; she's just saying that they need to rewrite it to be a bit more specific.

Yes, and another example is X organization is named to the "Terorist List"

The head of X organization goes to a lawyer about how to get removed from the list, and proves they are all Quakers and their only activities are aiding fellow Quaker barn raisers in Kansas, and their being named to the terrorist list is a case of mistaken identity.

For the lawyer to help them would, under that law, be criminally giving aid to a terrorist orgainization.

They could, but there would be a greater chance of an asteroid hitting than the govt. actually charging the attorney for trying to encourage a surrender...

And, if on the way to the attorney's office, he (after getting a haircut, shave, and nice suit of clothes) stops at Walmart, and asks the guy at the deli, "How much for a pound of pastrami", the deli guy can be arrested for answering, "Six ninety five."
