The "U.S. person" definition "does not include a corporation or an association which is a foreign power," according to the same law. An "agent of a foreign power" is anyone, citizen or otherwise, who "knowingly engages in sabotage or international terrorism, or activities that are in preparation therefor, for or on behalf of a foreign power." Which means that people who do not help al-Qaeda or other terrorists are safe from surveillance. Anyone who does, however, forfeits his rights and can be targeted for eavesdropping.

Isn't this a traitor too? What will it take for people to understand we have enemies and spys among us!? What voice of reason will the people hear? How many more REAL Americans must die, before we deal with the enemy within?

The New York Sun made a good point yesterday that even a naturalized citizen or permanent resident (defined in the statute as "United States persons") could arguably become targets due to the probability of visa/imnmigration fraud and not disclosing associations with terrorists.

In other words, it's possible for them to lose their protected status.

This has already been done in many other Islamist cases, and it is very clear even to applicants that naturalized citizenship can be retroactively withdrawn due to lying on an application.
