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.

Why is nobody investigating what they have on Obama. This whole situation stinks of a person being blackmailed. The Obama from back then could not ever do this stuff. Something is wrong people. Instead of making him the BAD GUY..which he is, but has no one ever thought about that something is seriously wrong in the oval office?. This is a Democrat signing off on this mess..a Democrat. What do they have on him?
