Reuters/Ha'aretz ^ | 11/02/01 | Staff Writer

[eureka!]

Boy, you can almost feel them seething at Reuters to publish this. Good on W. It was the right thing, again....

[glock rocks]

Hamas and Hezbollah

uh oh. look out, piaps.

[veronica]

Heads up.

[jgrubbs]

I am relieved to see Hamas and Hezbollah on the list, I was shocked that they weren't on the original list.

Now they need to add the "New Black Panthers Party" to the list.

[NYS_Eric]

MOST EXCELLENT!

[goodnesswins]

"Now they need to add the "New Black Panthers Party" to the list."

How can we HELP THEM TO SEE THIS AS A NECESSITY? Flood the FAX machines? Make calls?

[AnnaZ]

Better late than never.

 

BUMPTTT!

[crystalk]

Much to be applauded; much overdue. I believe the DFLP based in Damascus to be at least as much involved in 9/11 events as Osama was.

[gedeon3]

IT WAS LONG OVERDUE.

[gedeon3]

THEY NEED TO ADD THE PLO TO THE LIST.

[Lazamataz]

A+Bert will be most upset.

[Sender]

About time. They are among the vilest.

[Sabertooth]

Good news growl

Terrorist List

They have been on the list since September 23rd.

Here is what this new order does:

"Although the United States Government has already blocked any assets in this country directly linked to these groups, designation under E.O. 13224 provides the authority to act against individuals and organizations that associate with the named terrorist groups."

Executive Order 13224

[Jack Barbara]

I suggest they add "United Way" to the list.

[jgrubbs]

I just sent this email to the President:

Dear Mr. President,

I am relieved that you have added Hamas and Hezbollah to list of terrorist groups. I would encourage you to continue with your decision to "aggressively go after all forms of terrorism" and add the PLO and the New Black Panthers Party to the list of terrorist groups.

God Bless,

I wonder when the School of the Americas, or WHISC, as it has been renamed, will make the list?
