Section 2331 has for some time defined international terrorism as those
criminal acts of violence, committed primarily overseas or
internationally, that appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a
civilian population, or to influence a governmental policy by
intimidation or coercion, or to affect the conduct of a government by
assassination or kidnaping, 18 U.S.C. 2331(1). Section 802 simply
modifies this last element to include acts that appear to be intended to
affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or
kidnaping.

Jeeze do you guys know how to make a lawyers dream. Saddam can now
rightfully charge the USA (and Shrub) with terrorism!
