Administration itself demanded power to detain American citizens without trial

Barack Obama's signing statement that was added to the passage of the NDAA bill in an effort to dampen concerns over the 'indefinite detention' provision of the bill is smoke and mirrors for a number of reasons -- prime amongst them the fact that it was the White House itself -- not lawmakers -- who demanded Section 1031 be expanded to empower the government to detain U.S. citizens without trial.

On first reading, Obama's signing statement appears to assuage fears that American citizens could be targeted for arrest and detention without trial.

"My administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens ... Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a nation," wrote Obama.

However, the statement is meaningless for a number of reasons.

Firstly, even if Obama manages to fulfil one of the rare occasions on which he keeps his word, this does nothing to stop future administrations from exercising the power to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial.

Secondly, the Obama administration is already carrying out even more egregious measures than those supposedly authorized within the NDAA, by targeting American citizens worldwide for state-sponsored assassination with no legal process whatsoever.

Thirdly, Obama has reversed almost every single promise he made to get elected -- his word is no good. Given the right civil emergency, Obama could turn to indefinite detention of citizens without hesitation.

Crucially, Obama's promise that he will not use the law to detain Americans without trial is completely hollow -- because it was his administration that demanded the power to do so in the first place.

As the bill's co-sponsor Senator Carl Levin said during a speech on the floor last month, it was the Obama administration that demanded the removal of language that would have precluded Americans from being subject to indefinite detention.

Of course my friend.. This is important. Finding a leaders of this shit..

But spindoctors-puppets are important too.. They have very low self esteem.. man.

It's obvious. They have to see this.. Reflection in the mirror.. You know what i mean. Ron Paul knows it very well. You can defeat hopless mothaf.. by creating a space based on your DIGNITY. They are scared of this. DIGNITY.

Execute them? I don't know. But i feel you. This is very probable scenario..

[pitergoss]

Woman have very important job here.. You have to find those BIG-BULLYKIDS in your neighbourhood and play with this.. Kick them in the balls.. ;) You know how to do this. Support real guys and destroy cry-babies. Those NWO motha... first will destroy money flow.. and then will do something with food market. Way of thinking of those mothaf.. So.. we have to be open for other people. People on food-stamps are in danger. Let's help each other and let's communicate.

[SirJamesDDJ]

15:07 Gandalf faced a Balrog...not Borag.

Yes, showing my LOTR geekness

WOW so they say God spy on people. My goodness! What an excuse to justify! God is always watching however he is not oppressing people with this agenda. This is the work of darkness. SMH

[tommyzydeco]

if Ron Paul campaign slogan was "America's ageing Gandalf fighting the Balrog", he'd win the election in a landslide!! :-p

"I wish Congress would've killed that"...ARE YOU NUCKING FUTS ALEX?!

AM I STILL HEARING YOU RIGHT? You seriously think you have ANYONE in Congress on the side of the people? YOU ARE CRAZY, LOONEY & DOWNRIGHT DUMB!

Neither The Pauls, Kucinich, Issa, Caffetz, Bachman nor ANY of the Tea Party "Members" blocked the NDAA!

Oh, but, some other Congressional Turd can just "magically" & at will block any other piece of crap law or even discussion?

GET A FREAKING CLUE JONES!
