US State Department Adds Web Sites to List of Terrorist Organizations

The [url=http://washingtontimes.com]Washington Times[/url], among others, is running an [url=http://washingtontimes.com/national/20031010-112733-8086r.htm]article [/url] from [url=http://www.reuters.com]Reuters[/url] describing how the US State Department has recently declared four websites “aliases” of the Jewish terror organizations Kach and the Kahane Chai.

Quoting the article:

[i]”A designation as a terrorist organization carries travel and financial sanctions, including the freezing of assets and a prohibition against the issuance of visas to those identified as members or associates…The designation makes it illegal for persons in the United States to donate money or other material support to the Web sites. The three accessible sites yesterday included information on where contributions could be sent, what items could be donated and offered a number items for sale, including pendants and books.”[/i]

Looks like the slope just got slipperier.
