Reply #16: Doesn't really cover the same thing

The definition, as you pointed out, is very broad. But the "prohibited acts" section is much much narrower. It only covers conduct transcending national boundaries (whatever that means) that either kills, maims, etc. someone in the US (or a conspiracy to kill, maim, etc.) or an attack on a conveyance or other property that creates a substantial risk of harm to someone (or a conspiracy to engage in such an attack). You'd have to claim that the leak of Plame's name was part of a conspiracy that transcended national boundaries that was intended to kill, maim, etc. someone. That seems like a hard case to make (compared to the language in the definition).

I'm beginning to think that law regarding "domestic terrorism" may not be all that its cracked up to be.
