Defense Authorization Bill - No trial, No charges - whalesong - 11-25-2011
The U.S. Senate is considering the unthinkable: changing detention laws to imprison people — including Americans living in the United States itself — indefinitely and without charge.
Remain ever-vigilant, my friends. American values. American citizens. Indefinite detention time periods with no trial, no specific charge...currently at stake and this includes our citizens in our hometown.
The Defense Authorization bill — a "must-pass" piece of legislation — is headed to the Senate floor on Tuesday with troubling provisions that would give the President — and all future presidents — the authority to indefinitely imprison people, without charge or trial, both abroad and inside the United States.
The Senate will be voting on a bill that will direct American military resources not at an enemy shooting at our military in a war zone, but at American citizens and other civilians far from any battlefield — even people in the United States itself.

The senators pushing the indefinite detention proposal have made their goals very clear that they want an okay for a worldwide military battlefield, that even extends to your hometown.
