A notable New York Times article covers new action that is being taken to challenge the Treasury Department's process for designating charities as supporters of terrorism. The Treasury Department has designated five U.S. Muslim charities as terrorist supporters seizing millions of dollars in assets, including the largest Holy Land Foundation. On Monday Holy Land sued seeking dismissal of over half of the charges against them. This decision to sue was based on the ruling last month in a Federal District Court in Los Angeles. The judge ruled that an executive order used to designate terrorist supporters violated the Constitution because it was too vague. Lawyers representing two other charities are likely to file similar motions. The Treasury Department has declined requests to unfreeze the charities' assets so they can be sent abroad for charitable purposes. OMB Watch signed and was actively involved in a letter sent to Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. asking for the release of the assets. Kay Guinane of OMB Watch was quoted in the article numerous times. The issue is whether there is a fair process to determine that and how to protect the charitable dollars so they are used for the intended purposes,” Ms. Guinane said. “What Treasury has done is treat charities the same way they treat the criminal process. It has really hurt the U.S. image in the places where the aid was expected and where people were depending on it.
