Rosie: Bush Outlaws All War Protest In United States
She stated this on her blog based on this executive order that the WaPo summed up for you:
The executive order, released Tuesday, was designed to target “perpetrators of violence in Iraq including Shiite militia groups linked to Iran, Sunni insurgent groups with sanctuary in Syria, and other indigenous Iraqi insurgent groups,” said Molly Millerwise, a spokeswoman for the Treasury Department, which will determine who is in violation of the order. The move follows similar Bush orders to freeze assets of members or associates of al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups and former Iraqi government officials, Millerwise said. “It fills in the cracks,” she added.
White House press secretary Tony Snow offered further clarification at a briefing on Tuesday: “What this is really aimed at is insurgents and those who come across the border . . . or anybody who is caught providing support or poses a significant risk of providing support to those who may come across the border.”
However, the text of the order, if interpreted broadly, could cast a far bigger net to include not just those who commit violent acts or pose the risk of doing so in Iraq, but also third parties — such as U.S. citizens in this country — who knowingly or unknowingly aid or encourage such people.
I knew she was ignorant, but I had no idea how bad it really was!
