The National Defense Authorization Act will make it official. It will confer upon the executive branch and the military (increasingly, the same things) the permanent authority to snatch and grab any person, US citizens included, whom they decree to be a “terrorist” — as defined or not by the executive or the military — and imprison him indefinitely, without formal charge, presentation of evidence or judicial proceeding of any kind.
Comment:
Admittedly, that is a very chilling bit of news ( the new law). He brings Newt Gingrich in his estimations, but Gingrich says he's for limited government. So, Gingrich is all rhetoric, not to be taken seriously? This author slimes everybody equally, it seems. Probably a Paul supporter.
But I do agree that this law needs to be toned down considerably. We should jail Al Qaeda and anyone else who is of like mind. But there is this thing called civil rights and the Bill of Rights. I think a challenge to this law is in order, and regardless of whether of not the Congress says it can be reviewed or not.
