Bush Signs Anti-Terrorism Law
Will USA Patriot Act foster harassment of legitimate political dissent?
President Bush signed a new "anti-terrorism" law Oct. 26 that grants law enforcement authorities sweeping new surveillance powers that are not limited to terrorism investigations but also apply to criminal and intelligence investigations and to investigating instances of political dissent. The American Civil Liberties Union's website includes factsheets on various aspects of the new terrorism law, including the one printed below on the Anti-Terrorism Law and the Right to Dissent.

Definition of "Coerce"
coerce
A verb
1 coerce, hale, squeeze, pressure, force

to cause to do through pressure or necessity, by physical, moral or intellectual means :"She forced him to take a job in the city"; "He squeezed her for information"

I don't give a damn what nobody says...the foundation is being laid! So if you don't see things their way. And try to convince them to do otherwise. You are a domestic terrorist. So I guess a few of us on this board would technically be labled as "domestic" terrorists for trying to "coerce" people into seeing things our way. Laws are enforced by the definition of the words contained within those "writen laws" and this one leaves a whole lotta wiggle room to do as they please.

What does this have to do with being communist?

Communism is an ideology which seeks to establish a future classless, stateless social organization, based upon common ownership of the means of production and the absence of any forms of private property. source

Meet the first victim of this "New" law

‘Azzam the American’ charged with treason
California-born suspected al-Qaida operative believed to be in Pakistan
The Associated Press


Updated: 1:15 p.m. PT Oct 11, 2006
LOS ANGELES - A 28-year-old Californian who joined al-Qaida and appeared in propaganda videos for the terrorist organization was indicted Wednesday on federal charges of treason and aiding terrorists, a U.S. Justice Department official said.

A grand jury returned the indictment against Adam Yehiye Gadahn, 28, a suspected al-Qaida operative sought by the FBI since 2004, said the official, who asked to remain anonymous because the indictment was to be announced later in the day.

Gadahn, who is believed to be in or near Pakistan, is believed to have attended the terrorist group’s training camps in Pakistan and served as one of its translators. He has become known by his nom de guerre Azzam al-Amriki, or “Azzam the American.”

Gadahn appeared last month in a 48-minute video along with al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, calling on his countrymen to convert to Islam and for U.S. soldiers to switch sides in the Iraq and Afghan wars.

It was the second time he appeared in the same video as al-Zawahri. In a July 7 video marking the one-year anniversary of the terror attack on London commuters, Gadahn appeared briefly, saying no Muslim should “shed tears” for Westerners killed by al-Qaida attacks.

Beyond that, authorities believe he is the masked figure who appeared in two previous videos not officially from al-Qaida, one given to ABC television in 2004 and another a few days before the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Raised in Southern California on a Riverside goat farm, Gadahn converted to Islam and worshipped at the Islamic Society of Orange County in 1997 before being expelled for attacking one of its leaders.

His mother last spoke to him by phone in March 2001. At the time he was in Pakistan, working at a newspaper, and his wife was getting ready to have a child.
