The National Defense Authorization Act took affect less than a month ago and already the US government is making use of the controversial law. Musa'b al-Madhwani is the first Guantanamo Bay prison to feel the effects of the new law that President Obama at one point vowed to veto. The NDAA allows for the indefinite detention and torture of American citizens at home and abroad without a trial and also gives more power to the military and government. David Swanson, campaigner for Roots Action, joins us for more.

  • LONG LIVE THE USA! LONG LIVE THE NDAA!

  • @MrDeejayjfx This is soo true. Our government defined the word Terrorist.

  • This guy sounds nervous just talking abou this bill. How is this bill legal under our Constitutional rights?

  • What do you naysayers who have scoffed at the idea of a new wold order have to say for yourselves now???

  • If we don't do something about this soon anyone who doesn't shout "HEIL OBAMA!" loudly enough is going to be shot or sent to a FEMA camp.

    Ron Paul 2012!

  • Please watch my story"TIFFANY LEBOUEF SEEKS JUSTICE". I have documents to prove my innocence yet no one wants to even acknowledge it. My life has been destroyed.

    Look up PRISON STOCKS....very lucrative....WHO ARE THE INVESTORS???

    I HOPE NOT THE JUDGES AND POLITICIANS.......

  • @javamanV3 In the complete interest of fairness, I would like to point out that the NDAA bill passed with 2/3 majority in both the senate and house, so it didn't really matter what Obama felt about the bill. Whether or not Obama would have signed it had it not passed with 2/3 majority is of course up for debate though.

  • I don't trust this act one bit, but after reading the articles, there is nothing about torture in the whole Act. I don't like extremely skewed news broadcasts with fabricated "facts".

    "The very same president who openly asserts and has exercised the power to kill anyone including US CITIZENS and JUVENILES"

    I read indefinite detainment, not torture, either way this Act sucks.

  • @MrDeejayjfx Funded Al Qaeda against the Soviet Union, not founded.
