The National Defense Authorization Act of 2011 (NDAA) was signed by President Obama on New Years Eve last year. It allows soldiers to arrest U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. It allows Americans to be held in overseas military prison camps, indefinitely without trial. Yet with a straight face...
Of interest to many INGO members, New York federal district judge blocked implementation of the NDAA.

Defense Authorization Act Will Destroy Bill of Rights | Veterans Today
John McCain, Carl Levin, and all of the other senators (93 of them including the sponsors) can go screw themselves. I can't even begin to comprehend why this kind of bill should be passed.
John McCain and Carl Levin have drafted a new defense bill in secret, and it has already passed committee under closed-door conditions, without even a single hearing.
