wrote: The Secretary is authorized to inspect any vessel, foreign or domestic, in the territorial waters of the United States, at any time; to place guards on any such vessel; and with my consent expressly hereby granted to take full possession and control of any such vessel and remove the officers and crew and all other persons not speciffically authroized to go or remain on board the vessel when necessary to secure the rights and obligations of the United States." "Susceptible" indeed. What boat that can sail 90 miles isn't? A lawyer could probably tell us whether "take full possesion and control" means the same as confiscating and terminating ownership rights. So if I as a Canadian wish to sail to Cuba, which is really no foreign country's concern, I guess I'm going via the Azores, because I'll be damned if I'll enter the waters of the Fatherland if it can steal my boat because I might visit a country some bagmen in Miami don't like. Keep your laws off my boat, Bush. No wonder a lot of American sailors argue the merits of sailing armed...it's to dissuade the Feds. R. |

The proclamation language is: [...] The entire thing can be found via a web search for "Proclamation 7757 of February 26, 2004"; it's available in a few corners of the web at this point. It should also be available starting on page 9515 of this year's US Federal Register (via http://www.gpoaccess.gov/fr/), but that's down as I write this so I can't provide a URL. It's interesting reading, both in the justifications and the edicts. |

If I had any doubts about getting rid of Bush before, this cleared them up. It is ridicules for him to be doing this to Cuba just to get the $ support from the Cuban exiles in Florida. http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2...t.access.gpo.g ov/2004/04-4634.htm |

I'll sail anywhere I g0*#@mn well please and it does not please me to sail to the USA anytime soon. You poor sods. Have any of you actually read what the "U.S.A. Patriot Act" has done to your constitutional rights? Wake up and smell the coffee kids, you don't have any constitutional rights any longer. |

There are always heightened restrictions on "rights" during times of war. Don't think I'd want to live in a country that puts the whining and puling of the mush headed before self defense. -- The last stage of utopian sentimentalism is homicidal mania. |
