3. I'll try too although I could be wrong...
There are two executive orders listed.

Obama has put an executive order amendment to executive order 13462 (originally issues by President Bush).

The original language read as...

1. Okay this ordered the Intelligence Oversight Board to inform the President of any illegal activities that intelligence agencies might commit.

a. things that are illegal in relation to executive orders or amendments.
b. or things that are not being immediately met by the AG
In both cases this will automatically be forwarded to the President.

Obama's amendment expands on this---by saying information where intelligence agencies break federal laws or any thing that impacts the AG's directive will be will be forwarded to the AG's office.

Basically he's signed executive order holding the rule of law sacred. Anyone who commits a crime, even if you work with the intelligence will be tried. Before it was limited to executive orders--now it's all laws.

For one year he extended two more Bush policies one which basically gives us ownership anything related to criminals or criminal aid. So in the first case, if they were plotting we get to freeze assets. If there is an actual attack we get to confiscate (take ownership) of any property of any country, group or person who helped said individual. For example if the Bali Gov joins with terrorists we get their stuff.

The second one is related to drug trafficking the poster doesn't know why it's there and neither do I, but we'll assume it's relevant. It just says that if there are going to be profiling people in relation to drug trafficking to protect innocent lives and stop the swell of illegal drugs in the nation.

2. Seems related to the whole bank bailouts and Madoff guys in order to protect whistleblowers. The final one is the most interesting for me is that there will be public knowledge of people who are involved in fraud and waste within the government.

So after 180 days after the order is signed. The US Treasury alongside IOB and AG will put on the internet.

1. List all the names of accountable officials---those who've participated in such actions.
2. I love this one---list how much money or improper rates they've recieved
3. estimated amounts they've recieved
4. I'll assume this says---ways in which they'll regain a portion orall of that money (the government that is).

And they're creating a lovely website for us to see them on. I love it.

6. I didn't see anything that I was supposed to be outraged about there.
Did I miss something?
