Eek. It's a disturbing thought that you could be arrested, tried, and convicted
for expertly advising a terrorist organization to surrender, negotiate, or
disband. I would _hope_ that wasn't the intent of the loose wording, but given
the level of negative sentiment towards terrorism when the Patriot Act was
passed, I fully expect that it was intended to prevent any sort of humanitarian
aid from being given to injured people who were deemed terrorists. One question
I have on this is who decides which groups are terrorist organizations? Could
someone like Gandhi have been banned from receiving expert advice if his local
government branded him a terrorist?
