After deliberating for months, Judge Robert M. Takasugi of U.S. District Court in Los Angeles ruled on Friday that a 1996 law passed by Congress to classify foreign groups as terrorist organizations is ''unconstitutional on its face,'' and thus cannot be used as the basis of criminal charges. http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/06.22A.cheney.hussein.htm Cheney Sees 'Gathering Danger' in Iraq By Reuters | New York Times Thursday, 20 June, 2002 DETROIT (Reuters) - Iraqi President Saddam Hussein represents a "gathering danger'' to the United States, Vice President Dick Cheney said on Thursday, while warning that Washington will act preemptively against threats of terrorism. We are greatly concerned about any possible linkup between terrorists and regimes that have or seek weapons of mass destruction,'' said Cheney. "In the case of Saddam Hussein, we've got a dictator who is clearly pursuing and already possesses some of these weapons,'' he said.....Cheney Made Millions Off Oil Deals with Hussein by Martin A. Lee San Francisco Bay Guardian November 13, 2000 During former defense secretary Richard Cheney's five-year tenure as chief executive of Halliburton, Inc., his oil services firm raked in big bucks from dubious commercial dealings with Iraq. Cheney left Halliburton with a $34 million retirement package last July when he became the GOP's vice-presidential candidate. Of course, U.S. firms aren't generally supposed to do business with Saddam Hussein. But thanks to legal loopholes large enough to steer an oil tanker through, Halliburton profited big-time from deals with the Iraqi dictatorship. Conducted discreetly through several Halliburton subsidiaries in Europe, these greasy transactions helped Saddam Hussein retain his grip on power while lining the pockets of Cheney and company. http://www.aclu.org/action/homeland107.html To: ACLU Action Network FR: Damon Moglen, National Field Coordinator June 27, 2002 In the latest threat to civil liberties to emerge from the government's response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, the Bush Administration's proposed Department of Homeland Security explicitly removes structural and legal safeguards necessary to keep the agency open and accountable to the public. The President's proposal contains provisions that exclude the new agency from the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and whistleblower protections. His proposal also lacks guarantees of strong oversight; as proposed, the agency's secretary will have veto power over the inspector general's audits and investigations. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
