President signs executive order banning Iraq war opposition
If you are against the Iraq war, the president can now take away your property (if you are in the U.S.).

Here is the explanation to Congress.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...0070717-4.html
Summary:
"I hereby report that I have issued an Executive Order blocking property of persons determined to...pose a significant risk of...undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq"
I interpret this as meaning that if you (U.S. citizens in the U.S.) pose a significant threat to the efforts of the Executive branch to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq, then the government can, without due process, keep you from having property. So, if you urge Congress to leave Iraq before the President wants to leave, and it looks like Congress is being swayed by "you" (the U.S. citizens), then you can be thought of as a "significant risk of undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq". You have been forewarned by our President.
