[statecom-discuss] Thought Crime Control Law: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007

[Adam Sacks]

Hi All -

I'm not sure whether this has already been discussed, but it's worthwhile pointing out that on
October 23rd every single one of our congressional delegation voted *in favor* of this outrageous
Orwellian bill.  Only six members of congress voted against it, including Woolsey and Kucinich
(Barbara Lee, to my astonishment and dismay, voted for it):

Text of Bill (HR 1955): http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1955
Votes: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2007-993

Related to the above, Francois Furstenburg has a very interesting Op-Ed in today's NY Times on the
origin of the word "Terrorist" during the French Revolution.  Powerful punchline in the last
sentence.

Adam
