	A Global Witness
		On September 14, 2001, Representative Barbara Lee, whose congressional district includes Oakland and Berkeley, Calif., drew national attention when she cast a lone vote against the bill which gave the U.S. President considerable latitude in pursuing the "War on Terrorism." This is not the first time that Lee has taken an unpopular progressive stand.
		This resolution is a blank check to the president to attack anyone involved in the September 11th events – anywhere, in any country, without regard to our nation's long-term foreign policy, economic and national security interests, and without time limit.
		The resolution states that the president can pursue anyone whom "he determines" were complicit in the September 11th attacks to stop future terrorist attacks – it doesn’t direct the President to seek the approval of Congress should he decide to use military force against other nations once the conflict in Afghanistan is resolved.
