As the flailing dies down over how Foley tried to fold a page, expect this story to pop up in leftist circles
A Seattle man who traveled to Iraq nine times to deliver medicines during the 1990-2003 international embargo was properly fined more then $13,000, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
Bertram Sacks visited Iraq and broke the embargo nine times to deliver humanitarian aid between 1996 and the start of the U.S.-led war there. He sued in federal court after he was assessed a $10,000 fine, a sum that later rose to $13,767.08 with interest and late fees.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals backed the travel ban regulations and the fine.
Law say you no go there, you no go.
“Humanitarian Aid” or not. Even the 9th Circus can see it plain as day.
But then again, most leftists think it is hunky-dory to go to Cuba.
I know. The Beverly Hills Bar Association sent a delegation to Cuba earlier this year to talk to people about the rule of law and various other good-sounding topics. I did not go because I saw no reason to talk to Stalin’s jailers about the conditions of the gulags.
