Obama
has dropped his threat to veto the 2012 National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA), and is now expected to sign it into law. Obama demanded the
law apply to U.S. citizens in the first place.
The bill which
would codify into law the indefinite detention without trial of American
citizens is about to be passed and sent to Obama’s desk to be signed
into law, even as some news outlets still erroneously report that the
legislation does not apply to U.S. citizens, even though three of the
bill’s primary sponsors, Senator Carl Levin, Senator John McCain, and
Senator Lindsey Graham, said it does during speeches on the Senate
floor.
“The language which precluded the application of Section
1031 to American citizens was in the bill that we originally
approved…and the Obama administration asked us to remove the language
which says that U.S. citizens and lawful residents would not be subject
to this section,” said Levin, Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. |
