To the extent that GRF was attacking the factual support for the interim order, time has passed that issue by; the right question now is whether the designation of October 18 is supported by adequate information, and that question cannot be resolved until the district court has assembled a new record.
Executive Order 13224, which was issued before enactment of the USA PATRIOT Act, could not have delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury those powers added to the IEEPA by the new law.
Application of the IEEPA is not a bill of attainder; implementation of the statute is in the hands of the Executive and Judicial Branches, while a bill of attainder is a decision of guilt made by the Legislative Branch.

 News from the Washington File
(Executive Order 13224 now includes Basque groups Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, and Herri Batasuna) (370) Three groups associated with the Basque terrorist group ETA are being added to the list of groups named under Executive Order 13224, which blocks property and prohibits transactions with persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support terrorism.
The designation of ETA under Executive Order 13224 is being amended to include the groups Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, and Herri Batasuna, which "have supported ETA's acts of terrorism" in Spain, according to the State Department.
The action to amend the Executive Order 13224 designation of ETA to include Batasuna, Euskal Herritarrok, and Herri Batasuna is based on substantial and credible information from a variety of sources that those entities were formed at ETA's direction and functioned as part of ETA.

The Order makes U.S. businesses responsible for monitoring their current interactions with, among others, investors, joint venturers, trading partners and customers, and, in certain circumstances, reporting to the U.S. government any such party that is listed in the Order.
Given the broad scope of the Order, all U.S. businesses, including venture capital funds, venture-backed portfolio companies and publicly traded companies, must re-examine how they do business, especially with individuals and entities from geographical regions where terrorist groups are known to operate, and implement other operational procedures to comply with the Order.
The Order requires such businesses to be diligent in examining their respective relationships with individuals and entities as well as their backgrounds, especially in the context of sources of capital, investments and transactions with other businesses.

While the Order is not limited to international transactions, the risk of a potential violation is obviously greater in that context, especially when dealing with individuals not otherwise known to the company who are from countries with known links to terrorists.
In other words, under the broad language of the Order, a franchisor might still be held civilly liable for transacting business with a person who has been designated a suspected terrorist, even though the company had no knowledge or reason to know that it was transacting business with a suspected terrorist.
However, because the Order was signed so recently, it is unknown at this time the extent to which civil penalties will be sought from “non-willful” violators.

Rather than dissenting, major foundations are inappropriately acting as anti-terrorism enforcers, creating a funding chill in international grant making and perhaps even encouraging advocacy groups to be less open in their criticism of the current administration.

On September 24, 2001, President Bush issued Executive Order 13224 (the "Order"), which in part prohibits "any transaction or dealing by United States persons or within the United States in property or interests in property" of suspected terrorists or those who are associated with suspected terrorists.
The Order applies not only to transactions with suspected terrorists, but also those who assist in, sponsor or provide support or services for, or are associated with suspected terrorists, and those who are owned or controlled by, or act for or on behalf of suspected terrorists.
The bottom line with respect to both the Order and the Act is that it is advisable for all persons to whom they potentially apply, which is just about anyone involved in the real estate industry, to immediately set up a compliance program.

 Judge Strikes Down Parts of Executive Order on Terrorism
U.S. District Judge Audrey B. Collins, in a ruling released late Monday, found that two provisions of an executive order signed Sept. 23, 2001, are impermissibly vague because they allow the president to unilaterally designate organizations as terrorist groups and broadly prohibit association with such groups.
The latest case focuses on Executive Order 13224, which is aimed at cutting off financing to alleged terrorist groups and is based on the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
In her ruling, Collins said the order is unconstitutional because there is "no apparent limit" on presidential authority to designate groups or individuals as terrorists.

There are 147 countries that have issued blocking orders in support of the designations that have been made by the President.
It does us very little good if we issue blocking orders in the United States with respect to domestic banks but terrorist financiers are able to move their money to foreign bank accounts.
If OFAC then issues a blocking order and, again, if there is a challenge to that blocking order in the United States, even though, again, it's a derivative, if you will, following action that has been taken by a foreign country, as I stated, there's an administrative review process that can be pursued.

The Order expands the Treasury Department’s power to target the support structure of terrorist organizations by freezing the U.S. assets and blocking the U.S. transactions of terrorists and those that support them.
The Order makes U.S. businesses responsible for monitoring their current interactions with investors, joint venturers, trading partners and customers.
While these new requirements are important weapons in the war on terrorism, they create an additional burden for U.S. businesses to police their interactions with others, especially for those U.S. businesses with extensive dealings with individuals and/or entities from the geographical areas with high concentrations of terrorist groups.
