The court mainly has a problem with the context and definition of "material support", "personnel provided" (to terrorist organizations), and "training".

This ruling is great news for the legions of muslim organizations in America that, to this day, run charity scams to funnel money to al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations, foreign and domestic. Now, all they have to do is say, "I had no idea that Hamas and al-Qaeda were using my money to kill people. I thought they were using it to plant flowers and feed little kids." As long as they plead ignorance and don't keep any written records, they're free and clear to continue supporting terrorism.

One issue specific to the LTTE that I am aware of is that the LTTE has (and as far as I am aware, continues) forced villagers in the area under its control to work for them, and kidnapping them. A person thus forced to work for the LTTE against his will still qualifies under the law as having provided "material support". This is one glaring example of why the law as enacted doesn't pass muster.

The proper solution to people on US soil who help our enemies is the use of longstanding laws against treason and sedition. Why we needed this new law when the existing law was sufficient, if only it were enforced, I cannot explain.
