A month ago, the House of Representatives passed legislation that targets Americans with radical ideologies for research. The bill has received little media attention and has almost unanimous support in the House. However, civil liberties groups see the bill as a threat to the constitutionally protected freedoms of expression, privacy and protest.<\/p>\n

HR 1955, “The Violent Radicalization Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007<\/a>“, apparently intended to assess “homegrown” terrorism threats and causes is on a fast-track through Congress. Proponents claim the bill would centralize information about the formation of domestic terrorists and would not impinge on constitutional rights.<\/p>\n

On October 23, the bill passed the House of Representatives by a 404-6 margin<\/a> with 23 members not voting. If passed in the Senate and signed into law by George W. Bush, the act would establish a ten-member National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, to study and propose legislation to address the threat of possible “radicalization” of people legally residing in the US.<\/p>\n
