Financial Responsibility == Terrorism?
An anonymous reader writes "Capital Hill Blue is reporting that recently a retired Texas schoolteacher and his wife had a little run in with the Department of Homeland Security. The crime? Paying down some debt. From the article: 'The balance on their JCPenney Platinum MasterCard had gotten to an unhealthy level. So they sent in a large payment, a check for $6,522. And an alarm went off. A red flag went up. The Soehnges' behavior was found questionable. [...] They were told, as they moved up the managerial ladder at the call center, that the amount they had sent in was much larger than their normal monthly payment. And if the increase hits a certain percentage higher than that normal payment, Homeland Security has to be notified.'"
Of course, your post will get you mod points from the anti-Bush
Yes, we can't have anybody questioning the motives of the great American shepherd "Dubya" now can we.
Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.

And 6 grand is what in comparison?
The fact of the matter is that when you screw other over badly enough you can expect relalition.
And thats whats going on, The Bush Administration is parionoid because they are becomming aware of how damn much they have screwed others over.
WTC came was attacked once before 9/11 and targets of WTC, Pentagon, White House say what?
Wrongful manipulation of world economy with political and military backing..
So now the world stock markets must be terrorist activity, considering how its manipulation resulted in dotcom boom (easy winnings had to be put somewhere) and buts (easy come easy go) and the losers, worldcom, enron, etc.. whom still haven't told the american public what they were really doing.
South east asia, indonesia is 88 percent muslin (CIA info).
All it took to help set off the war drums on iraq was one lone high ranking enough, military official, who would not be questioned about there entry into a US military base containing anthrax stores, knowledge how to handle it and newsmedia addresses....
who would be stupid enough to not know the bush administration would fall all over themselves abusing the anthrax events
to get the media to bang war drums for bush?
Who are the real terrorost?
The most terrorism I have seen is not the WTC comming down but the very long running war drum banging of the bush administration against a country that most certainly did not have anything to do with WTC...
Prove that god doesn't exist? You can't as that is a scientific impossibility. So was proving Iraq didn'[t have any weapons of mass destruction. And teh US hasn't been able to find any.
Remember the smallpox threat that was use in all this?
The truth is. :

The question is:
Why are we not doing what we know how to, have the resources and man power to genuinely remove what terrorist use to gain support and followers?
The real terrorist are the ones parionoid of retailation, because they have been so damn fucking bad on others.
Until a couple of years ago, most anti-money laundering statutes only applied to laundering drug money. Laundering the proceeds of any other crime was not covered.
If banks and police are still in that mind set, we might just have some selection bias here.
Technically it SHOULD be an easy charge to beat, IF you got the money legitimately.
The most common case would be that you did indeed get the money legitimately, over a couple of years, but conveniently "forgot" to report it to the IRS during that time.
So you'd get out of the money laundering charge, but into tax evasion.
