Judge Rules Muslim Charity's Rights Were Violated

A federal judge in Oregon has ruled that the Treasury Department violated the rights of a now-defunct Muslim charity that was based in Saudi Arabia and had an office in the United States, reports the Associated Press.

U.S. District Judge Garr King said the due-process rights of the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, in Ashland, Ore., were violated because the Treasury Department failed to provide any basis for the charity being listed as a “specially designated global terrorist organization.”

1. Seems being a “Federal Judge” does not make you wise or increase you visionary powers.

   There is a whole picture that so many other than the people that want to cause harm seem to see. In today’s world with instant communications things that seem so ordairy and non-threating can be clubed together to make yet another thing that is powerfully harmful.

   Laws made for 99% honest people operate under the principle that most are good and you only need to catch the bad ones once they have done something wrong. The Criminal minded or today’s chaos minded can flow through taking advantage of the laws meaning and doing great harm.
