[Infowarrior] - Scary executive order just signed

The latest Executive Order from the War Criminal Administration facilitates
and sanctions the taking away of property of anyone who is deemed to be
"undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform
in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people". Left in
those terms, it isn't too much of a stretch to envision this Administration
deciding that any particularly vocal critic of the Iraq occupation is
"undermining efforts" and thus a target for seizure of property or assets,
Fifth Amendment be damned.

Big news indeed, and yet it has received scant little attention in the
media. Shameful in every regard, but it troubles me even more that this
latest criminal act has crossed a new threshold in reckless disregard for
the US Constitution, and yet hardly a soul even knows about it.
