>Under the Radar: Ten Warning Signs for Today
>by Heather Wokusch
>1. Protest war, lose your property?
>
>On July 17th, The White House quietly announced an Executive Order
>entitled "Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten
>Stabilization Efforts in Iraq." Among other developments, it gives
>Bush the power to "block" the property of people in the US found to
>"pose a significant risk of committing" an act of violence which might
>undermine "political reform in Iraq."
>
>The terms "significant threat" and "act of violence" are unclear. If
>you attend a demonstration against Bush's definition of "political
>reform in Iraq" would that count? How about writing an angry letter to
>the editor?
>
>The vague language also includes outlawing "the making of any
>contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for
>the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are
>blocked pursuant to this order." What if you donate to an anti-war
>group which, outside of your knowledge, has been blacklisted by the
>government? Does that mean that your property can be "blocked"?
>
>Similar to the Patriot Act, the potential implications are staggering.
