Senate Bill to OK Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens Without Charge, Trial
• www.thenewamerican.com The bill could come to a vote as early as today, according to a bulletin issued by the American Civil Liberties Union.
The legislation “goes to the very heart of who we are as Americans,”
the ACLU statement said, describing the bill as having moved toward
passage while most Americans were celebrating Thanksgiving and a long
holiday weekend for millions of U.S. workers. “The Senate will be voting
on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy
shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and
other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United
States itself,” the ACLU warned.
Labeled the National Defense Authorization Act, S. 1867 was drafted in
secret by Senators Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) and
approved in a closed-door committee meeting, according to the ACLU
statement.

If Big Military wants the right to terrorize the American public, Congress must obey their wishes. Why?
How many military sharpshooters are there? How many other military personnel could pass as sharpshooters if necessary? How many members of Congress are there? How many major people are there in Government if you include the Judiciary and State leaders?
Government was never meant to be in the hands of the select few like the Federal Government is today. Congress and the Judiciary were never meant to have undue power.
All the people were meant to be the military... the militia. None of the military was ever meant to be outside of the people, under the control of the President when there was not violent action against the American people taking place (9/11 was an inside job).
Which military General will take over once they do away with the government?
McCain needs to get his ass burned over this.
Section 1032 (a) (1) is a ( shall ) law - the military is 'required' to hold those persons listed - meaning they are allowed no other choice but to hold them -
section (b) (1) seems to exempt citizens from being arrested and held - but it does not.
(b) (1) merely states that the military is exempt from the 'requirement' to hold U.S. citizens.
Under this proposed law the military may in fact hold or release suspect citizens as it chooses.
