Executive Order: Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq
I find it interesting that while there is a sense of urgency and freakout in this order because NATIONAL SECURITY, THEY'RE COMING TO GET US! There's no news coverage of this executive order. Or most executive orders where in civil liberities of citizens are chiseled away in the name of "security."
It seems as though who is difined as a "certian person threatening stabilization in Iraq" is specific, but really no. It's vague enough where just about anyone poo pooing Bush's policies can have their property confiscated.
I'm getting very nervous about what's going to happen in the next few months...

I can't even express how glad I am every time I get reminded that not everybody supports the current government and the directions it's taking. The thing is that whatever the US does affects so many others, and we don't get a say in who is at the helm. Poking Putin into threatening with new rocket launch bases very close to the EU borders may not bother Bush and his supporters much, but that one certainly scared the hell out of Europeans, who then proceeded to blame him for such idiocy (and held his voters responsible). So all I can hope for is that the Republicans get thoroughly trounced at your next elections so you can get someone sensible in command. And that there are Republican attempts to blow up the country in order to avoid that.
