Bill Would Allow Military to Detain US Citizens Indefinitely

Congress is now considering legislative language to mandate indefinite military detentions of US citizens suspected of present or past associations with alleged terrorist groups, with or without evidence to prove it. More on that below.

Obama embraces the same Bush agenda, including keeping Guantanamo open after promising to close it, allowing torture there and abroad, and treating US citizens as lawlessly as foreign nationals.

MCA grants sweeping police state powers, including that "no court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider any claim or cause for action whatsoever...relating to the prosecution, trial, or judgment of a military commission (including) challenges to the lawfulness of (its) procedures...."

It says "Any person is punishable... who....aids, abets, counsels, commands, or procures," and in so doing helps a foreign enemy, provide "material support" to alleged terrorist groups, engages in spying, or commits other offenses previously handled in civil courts. No evidence is needed. Those charged are guilty by accusation.

Other key provisions include:

legalizing torture against anyone, letting the president decide what procedures can be used on his own authority;

denying detainees international law protection;

letting the executive interpret or ignore international and US law;

letting the president convene "military commissions" at his discretion to try anyone he designates an "unprivileged enemy belligerent," detaining them indefinitely in secret;

denying speedy trials or none at all;

letting torture coerced confessions be used as evidence in trial proceedings, despite US and international law prohibiting cruel and inhuman treatment at all times, under all conditions, with no allowed exceptions;

letting hearsay and secret evidence be used; and

denying due process and judicial fairness overall.


Anyone could be incarcerated for life with no possibility for redress. Section 1032 requires suspects held in military custody, outside constitutionally mandated civil protections.

Due process and judicial review won't apply. Police state lawlessness could terrorize anyone suspected of terrorist group ties without proof.

In other words, presidents could order anyone imprisoned for life without cause. Despotic regimes operate this way. So would America more extrajudicially than ever.

Tyranny will replace constitutional law. Middle of the night arrests could become common. No one anywhere would be safe, including unjustly accused citizens.

The ACLU calls indefinite detention without judicial review "an appalling abuse of power. We know that our government has already mistakenly detained hundreds of people on suspicion of terrorism over the past 10 years."

"Many have languished in custody for years with no way to even assert their innocence or address the evidence against them. All people are entitled to due process."

I think it has already activated in a trial sense. They are getting away with so much because NO ONE questions them. PRISON STOCKS ARE DOING "VERY" WELL!!! hmmmmmm

@NoMAIG: Dude, the text below is from the bill. It isn't hype or polispeak. I don't like the idea that they put this cr@p in a funding bill either but it isn't the bugbear that the leftist media has made it out to be.

600 billion bux isn't bad for national defense either. We have military personnel to pay, equipment to maintain, and R&D projects to fund. Just take out the unlawful detention phraseology and I'll be happy with it.

S1867, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Section 1032, Paragraph 4, subsection b, "(b) APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS AND LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.—

UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States."

That also goes for "Lawful Resident Aliens".

Notice the terms CITIZEN and LAWFUL! No problem with this bill, it's just funding for national defense.

how about stopping imigration from the middle east.. they can't cause problems if we don't let them in..I oppose any law that will deny due process of law to american citizens but want the government to keep these people out.. we can't live with people so different in the ways we each view the world.

NOVEMBER 5 2012 there will be riots.. fight back. for truth
