The Rank, Reeking Horror of Torturing Some Folks

132. If you have friends or connections abroad

Now is the time for them to reach out to their governments and respectfully request that they impart sanctions programs against the USA - naming specific sanctions.

We have these and they cross check to our OFAC and BIS lists. If Charles Taylor's son could be caught and imprisoned trying to enter the US illegally (he was forbidden) with a fake passport/documentation -

Then a valid passport from someone like Cheney should prevent him from coming into countries that choose to do so - or risk imprisonment for breaking their laws.

We do it - why can't the top 20 countries that US Citizens travel to?

II. OVERVIEW OF AUTHORITIES
On July 22, 2004, the President issued E.O. 13348 invoking the authority of, inter alia, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. §1701 et seq.), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq.), and section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287c) (“UNPA”). E.O. 13348 also noted United Nations Security Council Resolution (“UNSCR”) 1521 and UNSCR 1532 which, inter alia, directed member states to impose an asset freeze on certain senior members of former Liberian President Charles Taylor's government and certain other persons and to prevent the importation into their territories of all rough diamonds, round logs, and timber products originating in Liberia. In UNSCR 1689 of June 20, 2006, the United Nations Security Council lifted its requirements concerning the importation of round logs and timber products set forth in UNSCR 1521. In accordance with that decision, OFAC subsequently authorized certain round log and timber product importation into the United States. Similarly, in UNSCR 1753 of April 27, 2007, the United Nations Security Council lifted its requirements concerning diamond imports from Liberia. Since May 2007, when Liberia became an approved Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (“KPCS”) participant, rough diamond imports into the United States have been permitted, provided they are made in compliance with the KPCS and the Rough Diamonds Controls Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 592.
On May 23, 2007, OFAC issued the Former Liberian Regime of Charles Taylor Sanctions Regulations to implement E.O. 13348. See 31 C.F.R. Part 593 (the “Regulations”).
