"THE PATRIOT ACT"

BELOW IS A COPY OF THE PATRIOT ACT THAT WAS PASSED BY CONGRESS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2001. YOU WILL NOTICE
AREAS THAT ARE SO VAGUE AND GRAY IN THEIR WORDING IT SIMPLY PUTS TO DEATH THE CONSTITUTION AND ANY AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO AMERICAN CITIZENS ANY LAW AGENCY MAY ENTER YOUR HOME WITH OUT A WARRANT & MAY TAPE AND MONITOR ANY AND ALL FORMS OF COMMUNICATION WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL PROCESS. READ IT VERY CLOSELY AS BIG BROTHER USED THE 911 TERRORIST ATTACKS TO INITIATE THIS LEGISLATION. NOT TO PROTECT AMERICANS, BUT TO FURTHER GIVE THE GOVERNMENT MORE INTRUSION INTO ANY SUSPECTED INDIVIDUAL WHO MAY BE DEEMED SUSPICIOUS. IN BIG BROTHER'S EYE, THAT COVERS EVERYBODY AND LEAVES THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES VIRTUALLY FREE FROM ANY TYPE OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTION. THE PATRIOT ACT IN IT'S INTENT IS A GOOD SYSTEM TO COMBAT TERRORISM, BUT THE PROBLEM IS IT WILL BE ABUSED BY CRIMINAL ELEMENTS WITHIN ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------July 22, 2005
---------------------------------------------------------
2005 JULY: Following the passage of the House of Representatives’ flawed attempt to reauthorize the Patriot Act on July 20, 2005. Some attribute the London bombings had a spring board effect in the passing of the most intrusive legislation in American history. The passing of these new measures undermines the very freedoms and liberties that define America. House leadership denied members the ability to consider several amendments to the underlying proposal that would have brought the 2001 law in line with the Constitution by restoring proper checks and balances on government power. Flawed from the start, this bill fails to protect our most fundamental freedoms. Instead of allowing a thorough debate on relevant amendments that would help place proper checks against government abuse, the leadership of the House instead pushed forward with a limited set of amendments and refused to allow votes on key amendments that would have restored key checks and balances and helped ensure greater oversight and protection of our civil liberties. Controversial sections of the act do not expire for another five months, and like the initial passage of the Patriot Act, its reauthorization process was rushed and not given the full measure of time for careful consideration of the ramifications of this bill. History shows that the willingness to curtail America’s freedoms during national challenges ultimately leads to regrets about betraying our fundamental values. On July 22, 2005, MSNBC ran a poll concerning security vs. privacy. Over 60% of the MSNBC poll voted they preferred security over their liberties which I myself found staggering. One man stated, " I would rather lose my privacy than be killed by a bomb." My view is some what different. If your under 24 hour surveillance, 24 hours a day by the government, all your records are opened by law enforcement for evaluation which also include your medical history, your financial history, your school records, and even what books you check out at the library are evaluated to look for suspicious patterns, and even your e-mail and Internet surfing habits are being tracked. YOUR A VICTIM OF A TERRORIST ATTACK ALREADY! Terror comes in many forms and the biggest terror of all is a government which monitors all it's citizens and on a whim, can arrest you because you bought a bag of chips that were produced in Iran, a nation known for fanatics and financing terrorist groups. I would rather be blown up in a attack than suffer the upcoming years where citizens are branded with a bar code then put on a leash by the government to restrict their freedoms.
 

Before the passing of these new provisions of The Patriot Act and the London bombings, two key House committees were considering legislation to authorize the Patriot Act, citing the unwillingness by lawmakers to reject a power grab by the administration and restore proper checks and balances to the anti-terrorism law. The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to consider similar legislation soon. "Lawmakers had the opportunity to fix what they got wrong the first time, and instead partisan politics prevailed," said Lisa Graves, ACLU Senior Counsel for Legislative Strategy. "The administration is requesting that these sweeping powers remain permanent. As both chambers consider these bills, we hope lawmakers will bring the sun setting provisions, and others, in line with the Constitution by restoring checks and balances on government power." The House Judiciary Committee is considering  reauthorizing of the Patriot Act. The flawed base bill would make the Patriot Act permanent and includes minimal, superficial changes. For example, the bill provides a right to counsel to those served with a Section 215 order for medical or other business records, but only a right to counsel to comply with, and not contest, the order. Even the Justice Department has agreed that there needs to be a clear right to consult an attorney to challenge a 215 order. Also, there is no reform of Section 215 to require that there be any facts connecting any American to a foreign terrorist before their personal records, medical, tax, educational records, and any tangible things, are gathered by the government. However, the House Judiciary Committee did adopt an amendment to extend the sunset of Section 215 for 10 years. At the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, despite notification that the hearing would be open to the public, representatives from civil rights organizations and others were literally turned away at the door. The ACLU noted that Department of Justice officials, who are lobbying for a complete reauthorizing and the expansion of the act were allowed to enter the room.

That panel did accept two minor amendments to the underlying bill. Regarding the ability of the government to use "roving wiretaps"  the ability to tap any public or private phone linked to a specific target. Committee members approved a "return requirement." That cosmetic change means agents would have to provide notice to the court after the surveillance is completed. Also, the ability of the government to use the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act against so-called "lone wolf" suspects, which was set to sunset at the end of the year, was extended until 2009. Why some individuals consider this a small task to reform The Patriot, it is only another deceptive tool which is lost in translation and could be interrupted in any form by law enforcement officials. In addition, several other amendments that would correct some of the problems with the act were offered and defeated. Among these were an extension of all sunset provisions to a later date and a restriction on the use of Section 215 search orders to obtain library and bookstore records. An amendment offered by ranking member Representative Jane Harman (D-CA), which would adopt many of the carefully calibrated corrections included in the bipartisan Safe Act, was also defeated. The FBI has expanded its ability to conduct surveillance on individuals and groups by forming Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) with the help of local police departments.  These task forces give local law enforcement officers access to federal law enforcement files and uses them to conduct surveillance. Despite their recent creation, these task forces already have a track record for intimidating innocent individuals and spying on free speech protected activities. For example, in the months preceding the 2004 Republican and Democratic Conventions, JTTF agents in the Midwest monitored the daily activities of various anti-war and political activists they believed were planning to attend counter-demonstrations, and made "visits" to their homes as well as their friends and family members.

There are several flaws in the Senate proposal. The use of secret orders to search Americans’ personal records would remain in place, with diminished judicial oversight, and with the power still cloaked in secrecy. And, the bill fails to include a short, specific time limit on notification of the use of "sneak and peek" powers. Worse still, the Senate bill contains weak reporting requirements that would keep too much in the dark about how the Patriot Act is being used and possibly abused.
"While none of these bills grossly expands the Patriot Act like legislation adopted by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, none of these bills properly brings the Patriot Act in line with the Constitution. It is no accident that freedom of speech is protected in the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights:  The Constitution's framers believed that freedom of inquiry and liberty of expression were the hallmarks of a democratic society. The First Amendment exists precisely to protect the most offensive and controversial speech from government suppression. Most countries around the world regulate the interception of communications by governments and private individuals and organizations. These controls typically take the form of constitutional provisions protecting the privacy of communications and laws and regulations that implement those requirements. Many countries also regularly invade the privacy of communications or use other methods of electronic surveillance, sometimes in contravention to these same constitutional provisions. The era of a global Orwellian society and the monitoring by Big Brother's GPS technology will soon reduce human beings as a kilobyte of information which will be stowed in a global computer data-base. One has to remember that al~Qaida terrorist attacks were taking place long before the 911 tragedy or the Iraq War such as the 1990 bombing of The World Trade Center and other attacks in Africa, Australia, and Israel.

THE PATRIOT ACT II
-----------
MAY 2004: As House Committee Considers Latest "Patriot 2" Provision, ACLU Urges Congress to Reject Further Expansion of Government Powers Citing widespread concern from across the political spectrum about the Patriot Act’s overly broad definition of terrorism, the American Civil Liberties Union today urged the House Judiciary Committee to reject legislation that would expand the number of crimes eligible for the death penalty. The proposal would essentially make any federal crime currently punishable by more than a year in prison a capital offense if the crime was intended to influence government policy, endangers human life and results in death. This provision originally was included in the draft "Patriot 2" legislation circulated early last year, but never formally introduced. "Congress should be reviewing the worst excesses of the Patriot Act, not expanding it," said Jesselyn McCurdy, an ACLU Legislative Counsel. "Members of Congress should resist any efforts to pass provisions of Patriot Act II piece by piece."

The bill, H.R. 2934, or "Terrorist Penalties Enhancement Act of 2003" was the subject of a subcommittee hearing last month at which the ACLU noted that federal law already provides 20 separate death penalties for serious terrorism crimes, including bombings, hijackings, assassinations and hostage taking. In its testimony, the ACLU said that the Justice Department has not been forthcoming in its disclosures regarding how the Patriot Act has been used so far, and called for Congress to review existing powers before any further expansions are considered. If adopted, the proposed legislation would do two things. First, it would make at least 23 additional crimes eligible for the death penalty. Second, it would create an unprecedented "catch-all" death penalty for any other federal crime punishable by more than a year in prison if it meets the PATRIOT Act’s over broad definition of terrorism and results in death. The concern with the definition of terrorism as enacted in the Patriot Act is that individual protesters and activists from groups including Greenpeace and Operation Rescue could be labeled "terrorists, and if this bill were to pass, they could run the risk of being sentenced to the death penalty if someone dies during the course of their civil disobedience, even if the death was unintended. The ACLU also noted that the proposal could actually hurt America's anti terrorism efforts. Many nations that have abolished the death penalty are unwilling to extradite or provide evidence in federal terrorism cases if the suspect could be subjected to the death penalty as a result of their cooperation with the United States. Suicidal, politically motivated terrorists such as members of Al Qaeda would be unaffected as often they are seeking to create martyrs for their causes and to generate publicity. "This measure, if adopted, will only increase mistrust both at home and abroad of anti terrorism efforts and further isolate America in the world," McCurdy said. "As we set out to make ourselves safer, we must not accept measures that undermine the very freedoms we are trying to protect."

The American Civil Liberties Union and its more than 400,000 members, dedicated to preserving the principles of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, stressed it's concern on H.R. 2934, the “Terrorist Penalties Enhancement Act of 2003.”
The proposed legislation, which expands the death penalty to acts defined by the USA PATRIOT Act as “terrorism” that are federal crimes punishable by more than one year in prison,[1] is one part of a planned sequel to the USA PATRIOT Act commonly known as “Patriot Act 2.”  Congress should not consider such an expansion of the USA PATRIOT Act until it has undertaken comprehensive oversight of the federal governments use of the Act and its other law enforcement powers.
The bill's expansion of the federal death penalty would be drastic.  In addition to creating twenty three separate new death penalties in one stroke, the bill also creates an unprecedented “catch-all” death penalty for any federal crime, or any attempt or conspiracy to commit such a crime, that meets the PATRIOT Act’s over broad definition of terrorism and is punishable by more than one year in prison. Such a drastic expansion of the death penalty will not make America safer from terrorism.  Rather, it will undermine international cooperation against terrorism by further complicating efforts to obtain the cooperation of governments that have abolished the death penalty. Adding even more death penalties will not deter suicidal, religiously motivated terrorists who have not been deterred by the twenty federal death penalties for crimes of terrorism already on the books (not to mention other federal and state death penalties that may be available) and may instead simply attract new followers to the cause.

The death penalty is in need of reform, not expansion.  According to the Death Penalty Information Center, one hundred thirteen prisoners on death row have now been exonerated.  Chronic problems, including inadequate defense counsel and racial disparities, corrupt police and district attorney prosecutors, plague the death penalty system in the United States.  With twenty death penalties for federal crimes of terrorism already on the books, prosecutors have ample opportunity to seek the death penalty in serious terrorism cases.  The expansion of the death penalty potentially to any federal felony creates an opportunity for more arbitrary application of the death penalty. Continued grassroots controversy among Americans of all political persuasions about the impact of post 9/11 government policies on basic civil liberties has slowed the seemingly inexorable momentum of new federal government powers.  Conservative organizations, including the American Conservative Union, Free Congress Foundation and the Gun Owners of America, have joined with the ACLU, the American Library Association and many others to argue that America should not sacrifice its liberties in the name of security.   More than 291 local resolutions in thirty nine states, including four state-wide resolutions, have rejected some provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and other post 9/11 polices that infringe on basic rights and freedoms.  Altogether, these communities represent close to 50 million Americans.

As a result, President Bush and Attorney General Ashcroft have not gone forward with a comprehensive sequel to the USA PATRIOT Act , a “Patriot Act 2” that many expected would be introduced last year.  Instead, the Administration has endorsed three separate bills expanding federal powers, including this legislation dramatically expanding the federal death penalty.[2]
Congress should firmly reject any effort by the Administration to add new powers to the USA PATRIOT Act until it has received the cooperation of the Department of Justice in comprehensive oversight of its existing federal anti terrorism powers.  For this reason alone, Congress should reject this legislation. The Bills Sweeping “Catch-All” Death Penalty Would Greatly Exacerbate the Chilling Impact of an Already Over broad USA PATRIOT Act Definition of “Terrorism” H.R. 2934 seeks to expand the USA PATRIOT Act to create new death penalties for any federal offense punishable by more than one year, if death results. The bills expansion of the federal death penalty would be drastic.

The USA PATRIOT Act, at section 802, provides that any actions, occurring primarily within the United States, are “domestic terrorism” if they (1) “involve” a violation of state or federal criminal law, (2) “appear to be intended” to influence government policy or a civilian population by “intimidation or coercion” and (3) “involve acts dangerous to human life.”  18 U.S.C.  § 2331(5).  The federal code definition of “international terrorism” is similar, except that the actions must occur primarily outside the United States or “transcend national boundaries” and may involve “violent acts” instead of (or in addition to) “acts dangerous to human life.”  18 U.S.C. § 2331(1). These definitions of “terrorism” are so broad that many legitimately fear they could cover the civil disobedience activities of diverse protest organizations, including Operation Rescue, Greenpeace, and the anti globalization movement.  Blocking entrances to abortion clinics, for example, could “involve” violations of federal law punishable by more than one year in prison and may certainly “appear to be intended” to influence government policy or a civilian population by “intimidation or coercion.”  Blocking clinics under some circumstances involves “acts dangerous to human life” in that such actions could threaten the lives of the protesters (if protesters block traffic, for example) or interfere with the ability of women to get needed medical treatment.  The anti globalization movement is also known for civil disobedience tactics, such as chaining protesters together to block traffic, that could meet the USA PATRIOT Act’s over broad definition of terrorism. Because of the chilling effect of this definition on ideologically diverse protest groups, section 802 is one of the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act that organizations on the left and the right have agreed must be amended to protect civil liberties.  Conservative Republican Reps. Butch Otter (ID) and Jeff Flake (AZ) have joined independent Rep. Bernie Sanders (VT) and Democrats such as Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (MI) and Rep. Barney Frank (MA) to introduce H.R. 3352, the Security and Freedom Enhanced (SAFE) Act of 2003.  The SAFE Act now has fifty five cosponsors and is pending before this Subcommittee. Section 6 of the SAFE Act reforms the definition of “domestic terrorism” so that it applies only to actions that constitute a “Federal crime of terrorism” under 18 U.S.C. § 2332b(g)(5).  The SAFE Act would thus limit “domestic terrorism” to serious federal crimes, going a long way towards reassuring Americans of all political persuasions that the federal government will not treat them as terrorists because they may be involved in civil disobedience.  This narrower definition is strongly supported by groups from the right and left, including the American Conservative Union, Free Congress Foundation, Gun Owners of America and the ACLU.

The proposed legislation goes in exactly the opposite direction by not only leaving in place the USA PATRIOT Act’s definition of terrorism but broadening the definition by adding a potential death sentence.  Protest organizations have already been significantly chilled by the USA PATRIOT Act’s definition of some civil disobedience tactics as forms of terrorism.  A death penalty based on that definition would multiply the chilling effect dramatically. A few more examples help illustrate why such a “catch-all” death penalty would be so inappropriate:

Example 1.  A diverse group of American and foreign protesters at an international population control conference chain themselves together in a parking lot entrance to block access to a local reproductive services clinic in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act of 1994, 18 U.S.C. § 248.  A woman seeking treatment because of complications from her abortion cannot gain access and the delay in treatment results in her death from those complications.  Under this proposal, a federal prosecutor could seek the death penalty against the protesters for “international terrorism,” because their violations of FACE Act were felonies[3] that “transcend[ed] national boundaries” through the involvement of international opponents of abortion, involved “acts dangerous to human life,” appeared to be intended to influence government policy or a civilian population by “intimidation or coercion,” and resulted in death.

Example 2.  An organization of gun rights supporters gather at a convention hall to demonstrate against a new federal gun control law that requires all sellers of firearms to be federally licensed dealers and conduct background checks.  Some of the demonstrators, saying they want to “send a message to those gun grabbers in Washington,” hold an illegal “gun show” of the kind the law was enacted to prohibit, committing felony violations of the federal gun control regime at 18 U.S.C. § 922.  A mentally unbalanced man purchases one of the firearms and uses it to kill a man.  Under this proposal, a federal prosecutor could seek the death penalty for “domestic terrorism” against those who participated in the illegal gun show because their violations of the 18 U.S.C. § 922 involved “acts dangerous to human life” and appeared to intended to influence government policy by “intimidation or coercion.”

Congress should not simply adopt, without examination, the list of “Federal crimes of terrorism” as a proxy for crimes that are serious enough to warrant the death penalty.  In listing “Federal crimes of terrorism,” Congress did not choose only the most serious terrorism offenses for which it considered the death penalty to be an appropriate punishment, but also included other crimes that Congress created for the goal of preventing and deterring terrorism, including terrorism financing, material support, and computer related offenses.   Some of these crimes have been defined very broadly to enable the government to prosecute persons whose actions may have some relationship to terrorism but whose involvement is more peripheral than those who commit bombings, hijackings, murders or other terrorist acts that already carry the death penalty. For example, one crime that currently does not carry the death penalty is the offense of providing “material support” to a designated foreign terrorist organization.  This offense was created in 1996 with a maximum sentence of ten years in prison.  The USA PATRIOT Act increased the maximum sentence to fifteen years in prison, with a possibility of a life sentence if death results. There remains substantial controversy about the breadth of the “material support” offense because a conviction requires only that the government show the individual “knowingly” gave assistance to an organization designated as a terrorist organization, even if the assistance was only for the organizations lawful activities.  The government argues that a defendant may be convicted even if he did not know of the designation, believed the assistance would support only charitable activities, and even if the assistance in fact only benefited charitable activities. One federal appeals court has now ruled the material support statute, as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act, must be construed to require knowledge of the designation or of the organizations unlawful activities, and that its prohibitions on providing “training” and “personnel” are void for vagueness.[4]  Adding a death sentence to such a broad statute will only contribute to its constitutional flaws.

Congress was certainly aware that creating the crime of material support of the lawful activities of an organization designated as “terrorist” by the government could be vulnerable to challenge under the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause.  While Congress chose to pass the material support statute despite these concerns, by providing a maximum sentence of fifteen years (or a life sentence if death results), Congress indicated it did not believe this crime was as serious as direct participation in terrorist acts for which it provided the death penalty. While the bill would only permit the death penalty for material support if death results, a prosecutor could be expected to argue that any financial or other contribution to a designated foreign terrorist organization, even for humanitarian activities is fungible and therefore assisted the organization in committing terrorist acts that resulted in death. More following examples help illustrate why it is so wildly inappropriate to make the crime of material support a death eligible offense:

Example 3.  Joshua attends a function at a local community center in which he views a graphic film about suicide bombings in Israel.  The film praises unofficial “armed resistance” by Jewish militants to Islamic terrorist groups.  At the function, Joshua gives money for the “Kahane Chai Relief Fund” for widows of Palestinian attacks.  Joshua suspects the charity may be a front, but is angry enough after seeing the film that he does not care.  Joshua does not know that Kahane Chai has been designated by the State Department as a foreign terrorist organization.[5]  Under this legislation, Joshua’s actions are not only a crime, but he could now be facing the death penalty.

Example 4.  Sean is upset about that some Irish leaders have abandoned the goal of a united Ireland and wants to “send a message” by providing technical assistance to an anti British web site.  The web site features articles and comments that are strongly nationalist in tone, and Sean has been told the web site is run by the Real IRA, a designated foreign terrorist organization.  Under this legislation, Sean would not only face criminal changes, but could face the death penalty.

Supporters of the bill may argue that prosecutors can be expected to exercise discretion and will not seek the death penalty except in very egregious cases.  While prosecutorial discretion is an important element of the criminal justice system, prosecutors should not have unlimited discretion.  The federal criminal code already contains twenty terrorism crimes, and many other crimes not specifically listed as terrorism crimes, that carry the death penalty and cover a broad range of terrorist acts, including bombings, kidnappings, arson, aircraft hijackings and many others.  In very serious terrorism cases, federal prosecutors are likely to have at least one, and probably more than one, death-eligible crime with which to charge a defendant.  The bill’s expansion of the death penalty is likely to affect only the more peripheral cases in which prosecutors would not normally seek the death penalty, but where there may be political pressure to do so because the defendants belong to an unpopular religious, ethnic or political group.

Already, many nations that have abolished the death penalty are unwilling to extradite or provide evidence in federal terrorism cases if the death penalty might result from their cooperation. Other nations have become increasingly critical of the United States for its continued and even expanding use of the death penalty when the international trend has been towards abolition.  The exoneration of more than one hundred former inmates of Americas death row has not gone unnoticed abroad.  Diplomacy concerning the issue of the death penalty has become increasingly tense and complex.  The rift between the United States and many of its closest allies is likely to grow even wider as a result of a recent decision of the International Court of Justice concerning the death penalty.  The decision strongly rebuked the United States for its disregard of the rights of 51 Mexican nationals on death row to timely consular notification under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.[6] The European Union prohibits the extradition of any criminal suspect facing the death penalty.  After the bombing of United States embassies in Africa by Al Qaeda terrorists, Germany only extradited an alleged conspirator to face trial in the United States after negotiating assurances the suspect would not face the death penalty.  Many European nations, including the United Kingdom, have restated their opposition to the death penalty after September 11, 2001 and conditioned any extradition's in connection with the global fight against terrorism on similar assurances.[7] By dramatically expanding the number of death eligible offenses, the bill would dramatically multiply the number of cases in which prosecutors will have to negotiate special agreements with foreign governments to obtain needed cooperation in obtaining evidence or extraditing suspects. A dramatic expansion of the death penalty would, according to foreign policy experts, be likely to further impede the cooperation between nations that is absolutely critical to impeding terrorist organizations by arresting and prosecuting their members.  Milt Bearden, a former CIA station chief in Pakistan and Sudan, warns, “If the U.S. routinely applies the death penalty to cases of international terrorism targeting American citizens, it may limit continued cooperation from the majority of countries most closely involved in combating terrorism.”[8]

Continuing and pronounced racial disparities in the imposition of the death sentence for serious street crimes has contributed to the harsh international criticism of the United States.  A dramatic expansion of the death penalty for crimes said to be terror related, making death eligible many crimes that would not normally carry a death sentence would confirm the suspicions of many in the Arab and Muslim world that the United States is creating a separate, and unequal, system of justice for mainly Arab and Muslim defendants as well as giving Terrorist Groups New “Martyrs” for the Cause and  to emulate the “courage” of the “martyr.” Put simply, the most dangerous terrorists do not fear death, they seek it.  Even for those who do not participate in suicide attacks, the risks inherent in terrorist activity are far more significant than the possibility that a death sentence would be imposed on any given terrorist suspect. For example, the United Kingdom voted to repeal the death penalty for terrorism in Northern Ireland on the basis that executing terrorists only increases violence and puts soldiers and police at greater risk.
Spain similarly rejected the death penalty as counter productive in its decades long campaign against the Basque terrorist group ETA.  Even as the Israeli government continues its controversial tactic of targeted killings of terrorist suspects, its judges do not impose the death penalty on terrorists in Israeli custody.

In conclusion, H.R. 2934 is an drastic and unwise expansion of the governments most sobering power, the power to take a life and imprison those they deem a threat, real.or fabricated.  The federal government already has twenty separate death penalties for crimes of terrorism. Terrorists might also face other federal death penalties, or state crimes that carry the death penalty.  While the government has not always obtained a death sentence in every terrorism case where it was sought, the reason was  because it could not charge or convict the defendant of a capital offense.  For example, in the cases involving the 1998 bombings of United States embassies in Africa, the jury found two defendants guilty of death eligible crimes, but chose not to impose a death sentence.  The bill is thus a classic example of a solution in search of a problem. Passage of H.R. 2934 would be seen by many organizations of the right and left including anti-abortion and gun rights advocates, as a major and troubling expansion of federal power.  Congress should not move a major part of the Administration's agenda to expand the USA PATRIOT Act without far more detailed review of the effect of the Act, and other post 9/11 policies, on civil liberties.

H.R. 2934 will rightly be seen, both in the United States and abroad, as another federal infringement on civil liberties that will not make America safer.  It will, as a result, increase mistrust, both at home and abroad, even of legitimate anti terrorism efforts, dividing many Americans from their government and further isolating America in the world.  "Just as the Patriot Act was passed with limited debate, the Judiciary Committee has yet to hold any public hearings on this expansion," said Laura W. Murphy, Director of the ACLU’s Washington Legislative Office. "Congress must move slowly before considering any further expansion of government powers. It should fully evaluate the original Patriot Act’s effects on public safety and civil liberties before further reducing judicial review of government wiretapping and taking other steps that reduce government accountability." The new bill, called the "Anti Terrorism Intelligence Tools Improvement Act of 2003" (H.R. 3179), includes many provisions of draft legislation leaked from the Justice Department last year. That bill was roundly criticized by both Republicans and Democrats and never moved beyond a draft. The new proposals would increase the governments powers to secretly obtain personal records without judicial review, limit judicial discretion over the use of secret evidence in criminal cases, eliminate important foreign intelligence wiretapping safeguards and allow the use of secret intelligence wiretaps in civil cases without notice or an opportunity to suppress illegally acquired evidence. The legislation builds on many of the most troubling provisions of the Patriot Act, which passed with minimal debate a mere 45 days after 9/11. To date, more than 300 American communities, encompassing more than 50 million Americans in 40 states, have passed local resolutions asking Congress to revisit the Patriot Act and opposing any further expansion of the law. The American people do not want the government to rush into a feel good security, which is nothing short of propaganda to invoke a false sense of security, as well as the loss of constitutional and civil rights and the elimination of judicial process.

The U.S. Supreme Court, the American Civil Liberties Union is challenging the Bush administration’s legal position that the President has the unilateral authority to define U.S. citizens as "enemy combatants" and detain them indefinitely without charges.
In the consolidated cases of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (03-6696) and Rumsfeld v. Padilla (03-1027) the Justices will today review arguments regarding Yaser Hamdi and Jose Padilla, two American citizens who have been detained in military brigs for more than two years since their capture or arrest. "Our system of checks and balances was designed to ensure that individual liberty does not rest on the good faith of government officials and to place limits on the exercise of government authority," said Steven R. Shapiro, the National Legal Director of the ACLU. "By contrast, the government’s claim that it can indefinitely detain both U.S. citizens and non-citizens without any meaningful review rests on an assertion of executive power that is virtually boundless."

In the Padilla case, the ACLU has filed court briefs highlighting our nation’s long constitutional tradition favoring civilian justice over military justice except in very limited circumstances. In the Hamdi case, the ACLU’s brief points out that arbitrary executive detention has been seen as inconsistent with the rule of law since at least the Magna Carta. An appeals court in the Padilla case ruled that his military detention exceeded the authority of the executive branch and that U.S. citizens cannot be held at the sole discretion of the President without charges, trial or access to counsel. The appeals court in the Hamdi case found for the government. Yaser Hamdi is an American citizen who was captured by the Northern Alliance while allegedly fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Jose Padilla, an American citizen and onetime Chicago gang member also known as Abdullah al-Muhajir, has been accused of but not charged with plotting to explode a radioactive bomb in the United States. He was arrested in Chicago in May 2002. Both have been detained in military brigs for nearly two years. Neither has been charged, or tried, or until very recently even allowed access to counsel. The sole basis for the detention is the President’s unilateral declaration that they are "enemy combatants." The security of our people depends not only on defending our borders but also on defending the constitutional principles that define us as a nation.

These two individuals, Padilla and Hamdi, are in fact victims of a new upcoming form of martial law regime. Martial law is a territorial form of military control and is enacted when civil order has broken down. The military will invoke it's ideology of law and order upon the citizens and their communities. The laws of current society are handled by elected or appointed officials, whereas martial law is directed by military officers. In Hawaii, martial law was put into motion after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The entire population was under the thumb of a military dictatorship. The coming new martial law, being created by legislation and government agencies that include The Patriot Act and the TIA, will no doubt be used against foreign and domestic society to ensure control and put down anyone who questions the coming One World Government.

TITLE III--INTERNATIONAL MONEY LAUNDERING ABATEMENT AND ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING ACT OF 2001
SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the `International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001'.

SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--

(1) money laundering, estimated by the International Monetary Fund to amount to between 2 and 5 percent of global gross domestic product, which is at least $600,000,000,000 annually, provides the financial fuel that permits transnational criminal enterprises to conduct and expand their operations to the detriment of the safety and security of American citizens;
(2) money laundering, and the defects in financial transparency on which money launderers rely, are critical to the financing of global terrorism and the provision of funds for terrorist attacks;
(3) money launderers subvert legitimate financial mechanisms and banking relationships by using them as protective covering for the movement of criminal proceeds and the financing of crime and terrorism, and, by so doing, can threaten the safety of United States citizens and undermine the integrity of United States financial institutions and of the global financial and trading systems upon which prosperity and growth depend;
(4) certain jurisdictions outside of the United States that offer `offshore' banking and related facilities designed to provide anonymity, coupled with weak financial supervisory and enforcement regimes, provide essential tools to disguise ownership and movement of criminal funds, derived from, or used to commit, offenses ranging from narcotics trafficking, terrorism, arms smuggling, and trafficking in human beings, to financial frauds that prey on law-abiding citizens;
(5) transactions involving such offshore jurisdictions make it difficult for law enforcement officials and regulators to follow the trail of money earned by criminals, organized international criminal enterprises, and global terrorist organizations;
(6) correspondent banking facilities are one of the banking mechanisms susceptible in some circumstances to manipulation by foreign banks to permit the laundering of funds by hiding the identity of real parties in interest to financial transactions;
(7) private banking services can be susceptible to manipulation by money launderers, for example corrupt foreign government officials, particularly if those services include the creation of offshore accounts and facilities for large personal funds transfers to channel funds into accounts around the globe;
(8) United States anti-money laundering efforts are impeded by outmoded and inadequate statutory provisions that make investigations, prosecutions, and forfeitures more difficult, particularly in cases in which money laundering involves foreign persons, foreign banks, or foreign countries;
(9) the ability to mount effective counter-measures to international money launderers requires national, as well as bilateral and multilateral action, using tools specially designed for that effort; and
(10) the Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices and the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering, of both of which the United States is a member, have each adopted international anti-money laundering principles and recommendations.
(b) PURPOSES- The purposes of this title are--

(1) to increase the strength of United States measures to prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism;
(2) to ensure that--
(A) banking transactions and financial relationships and the conduct of such transactions and relationships, do not contravene the purposes of subchapter II of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, section 21 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or chapter 2 of title I of Public Law 91-508 (84 Stat. 1116), or facilitate the evasion of any such provision; and
(B) the purposes of such provisions of law continue to be fulfilled, and such provisions of law are effectively and efficiently administered;
(3) to strengthen the provisions put into place by the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 (18 U.S.C. 981 note), especially with respect to crimes by non-United States nationals and foreign financial institutions;
(4) to provide a clear national mandate for subjecting to special scrutiny those foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes of international transactions or types of accounts that pose particular, identifiable opportunities for criminal abuse;
(5) to provide the Secretary of the Treasury (in this title referred to as the `Secretary') with broad discretion, subject to the safeguards provided by the Administrative Procedure Act under title 5, United States Code, to take measures tailored to the particular money laundering problems presented by specific foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes of international transactions or types of accounts;
(6) to ensure that the employment of such measures by the Secretary permits appropriate opportunity for comment by affected financial institutions;
(7) to provide guidance to domestic financial institutions on particular foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside of the United States, and classes of international transactions that are of primary money laundering concern to the United States Government;
(8) to ensure that the forfeiture of any assets in connection with the anti-terrorist efforts of the United States permits for adequate challenge consistent with providing due process rights;
(9) to clarify the terms of the safe harbor from civil liability for filing suspicious activity reports;
(10) to strengthen the authority of the Secretary to issue and administer geographic targeting orders, and to clarify that violations of such orders or any other requirement imposed under the authority contained in chapter 2 of title I of Public Law 91-508 and subchapters II and III of chapter 53 of title 31, United States Code, may result in criminal and civil penalties;
(11) to ensure that all appropriate elements of the financial services industry are subject to appropriate requirements to report potential money laundering transactions to proper authorities, and that jurisdictional disputes do not hinder examination of compliance by financial institutions with relevant reporting requirements;
(12) to strengthen the ability of financial institutions to maintain the integrity of their employee population; and
(13) to strengthen measures to prevent the use of the United States financial system for personal gain by corrupt foreign officials and to facilitate the repatriation of any stolen assets to the citizens of countries to whom such assets belong.
