Kucinich Criticizes Bush Executive Order on Lebanon
Presidential candidate Congressman Dennis Kucinich has accused the Bush administration of promoting a reckless and dangerous policy in the Middle East. Kunicinch criticized President Bush for signing a new executive order on Lebanon that orders the Treasury Department to freeze the property and interests of people deemed by the Administration to be undermining Lebanon's democratic government. In the executive order President Bush states: "Syrian meddling in Lebanon constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat." Under the order anyone who engages in any act -- violent or nonviolent -- against the government of Lebanon can now have his or her property frozen.
