Yep. I'm awarte of the so-called "Patriot" Act, which we agree was
nothing but the Bush administration's way of ignoring things they
don't like, such as the US Constitution. The definition of domestic
terrorism in the act follows:
(a) DOMESTIC TERRORISM DEFINED- Section 2331 of title 18, United
States Code, is amended--
(1) in paragraph (1)(B)(iii), by striking `by assassination or
kidnapping' and inserting `by mass destruction, assassination, or
kidnapping'; (2) in paragraph (3), by striking `and';
(3) in paragraph (4), by striking the period at the end and inserting
`; and'; and
(4) by adding at the end the following:
`(5) the term `domestic terrorism' means activities that--
`(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the
criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
`(B) appear to be intended--
`(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
`(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or
coercion; or `(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass
destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
`(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United
States.'.
(b) CONFORMING AMENDMENT- Section 3077(1) of title 18, United States
Code, is amended to read as follows:
`(1) `act of terrorism' means an act of domestic or international
terrorism as defined in section 2331;'.
Reading that I see nothing related to the story posted in this thread,
which I suspect might be modern urban legend (aka bullshit).
