    It is kind of a legalistic article.

    But if you possess this skill called "empathy," you can imagine what it would be like to have all your assets frozen and all your former friends thinking you are a terrorist, and not knowing how "they" determined you were a terrorist, or what you can do to stop being called a terrorist.

    If you don't possess that skill, do an internet search for "Why is due process important?" or something like that, and educate yourself.
