As reported by Greg Hunter of www.UsaWatchDog.com, the recent passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (Senate Bill 1867), otherwise known as the “Indefinite Detention Bill,” should scare the heck out of anyone who loves the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This bill effectively hands over control to the military to arrest, torture and even kill terrorists on American soil. It also allows the military to hold suspected terrorists indefinitely without a trial or due process. This applies to both non-citizens and citizens of the United States! With this bill, you are not innocent until proven guilty. You are guilty until proven innocent, and you may never get a trial to defend yourself. There is surprisingly little written in the mainstream media about this Senate bill that passed 93 to 7 at the end of November.
There has been very little reporting of this provision in the traditional media. Evidently, they don't find it important enough to inform you of yet another move towards totalitarianism. it is also of note that the military wants no part of this new power. Everyone from the Secretary of Defense to the CIA to the FBI, think it's a bad idea. President Obama has threatened to veto it, but we'll see if he follows through.
