Slippery Slope?????

[ls317]

The Bush administration is planning new measures that would target the U.S. assets of anyone conducting business with a handful of Iranian, North Korean and Syrian companies believed by Washington to be involved in weapons programs, U.S. officials said yesterday.

The latest action is outlined in a draft executive order administration officials are hoping President Bush will sign before attending the Group of Eight summit in Scotland on Saturday. Officials who agreed to discuss the details only on the condition of anonymity said that the order's success would rely heavily on U.S. intelligence and that it is modeled in part on measures the government took against al Qaeda's finances shortly after the terrorist strikes of Sept. 11, 2001.

1. logical falacy

The slippery slope is a logical falacy in philosophy terms, but If the government is already planning this(which I'm sure they are) then it is no longer a slippery slope, but something that is actually being planned for, that is being put in place. There is a word for it, I just cant' think of it right now =P
