Federal appeals court strikes portions of terror groups aid ban for vagueness
Jaime Jansen at 9:51 AM ET

Portions of the 1996 Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) [text] and its 2004 amendment, the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act [text] which make it a crime to help groups considered to be terrorist organizations by the US government are too vague, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] Monday. Judge Harry Pregerson noted that the statutes could theoretically be used to prosecute people who trained members of foreign organizations on ways to "use humanitarian and international law to peacefully resolve ongoing disputes," and struck down those ambiguous portions of the statute. Pregerson affirmed a 2005 District Court decision declaring portions of the law too vague.
