Follow on Google News | NDAA 2013: Indefinite Detention Without Charge Or Trial For American Citizens On American SoilWhile mainstream media keeps the Sheeple distracted with Christmas classics and inconsistent reporting about killings in Connecticut, Amerika's corporate fascist puppet Congress quietly hacks away at habeus corpus.
By: VVV PR http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/ "Over the past two years, the Obama administration has been secretly developing a new blueprint for pursuing terrorists, a next-generation targeting list called the 'disposition matrix'... Although the matrix is a work in progress, the effort to create it reflects a reality setting in among the nation's counterterrorism ranks: The United States' conventional wars are winding down, but the government expects to continue adding names to kill or capture lists for years... The Obama administration has touted its successes against the terrorist network, formally acknowledging for the first time the United States’ use of armed drones. Less visible is the extent to which Obama has institutionalized the highly classified practice of targeted killing, transforming ad-hoc elements into a counterterrorism infrastructure capable of sustaining a seemingly PERMANENT WAR."--Greg Miller http://www.washingtonpost.com/ "[T]he legal foundation for U.S. counterterrorism strategy is partially based on "the Congressional authorization to use military force" (AUMF) that was passed after 9/11... Specifically it seems to be based on an interpretation of the AUMF that was "reaffirmed" http://www.businessinsider.com/ "It may seem like imprisoning an American citizen without charges or trial transgresses against the United States Constitution and basic norms of Western justice dating back to the Magna Carta... It may seem like reiterating the right to due process contained in the 5th Amendment would be uncontroversial... It may seem like a United States senator would be widely ridiculed for suggesting that American citizens can be imprisoned indefinitely without chargers or trial, and that if numerous U.S. senators took that position, the press would treat the issue with at least as much urgency as "the fiscal cliff" or the possibility of a new assault weapons bill or likely nominees for Cabinet posts... It may seem like the American citizens who vocally fret about the importance of adhering to the text of the Constitution would object as loudly as anyone to the prospect of indefinite detention... But it isn't so."--Conor Friedersdorf http://www.theatlantic.com/ "Lawmakers charged with merging the House and Senate versions of the National Defense Authorization Act decided on Tuesday to drop a provision that would have explicitly barred the military from holding American citizens and permanent residents in indefinite detention without trial as terrorism suspects, according to Congressional staff members familiar with the negotiations."-- http://www.nytimes.com/ "Over the past year I and other plaintiffs including Noam Chomsky and Daniel Ellsberg have pressed a lawsuit in the federal courts to nullify Section 1021(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This egregious section, which permits the government to use the military to detain U.S. citizens, strip them of due process and hold them indefinitely in military detention centers, could have been easily fixed by Congress. The Senate and House had the opportunity this month to include in the 2013 version of the NDAA an unequivocal statement that all U.S. citizens would be exempt from 1021(b)(2), leaving the section to apply only to foreigners. But restoring due process for citizens was something the Republicans and the Democrats, along with the White House, refused to do. The fate of some of our most basic and important rights—ones enshrined in the Bill of Rights as well as the Fourth and Fifth amendments of the Constitution— http://www.truthdig.com/ "Treat any #GOV agent or #LEO who enters your premises to detain you under #NDAA as an armed intruder."--VVV PR https://twitter.com/ )( Related Image: http://veritasvirtualvengeance.files.wordpress.com/ Related Video: http://www.youtube.com/ )( H.R. 4310 (eas) - National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 [WARNING: NOT UPDATED IN REAL TIME]: http://www.gpo.gov/ )( Tags: ndaa, ndaa2013, ndaa 2013, hr4310, hr 4310, h.r.4310, h.r. 4310, national defense authorization act, indefinite detention, suspension of habeus corpus, bill of rights, u.s. constitution, amerika, kleptocracy, fascists, tyranny, corporate fascism, political corruption, congress, senate, political puppets, obama, odrona, bushbama, sheeple, cowards, anonymous, ows, global revolution, texas secede, 9-11 truth, false flag terrorism, israel, drones, iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, yemen, syria, iran, war profiteering, military industrial complex, terrorism industrial complex, prison industrial complex, gulag, permanent war End
