(President Obama Signed the National Defense Authorization Act - Now What? by E.D. Kain, Forbes, 1/2/2011) - ACLU: President Obamas action today is a blight on his legacy because he will forever be known as the president who signed indefinite detention without charge or trial into law Under the Bush administration, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen detained on U.S. soil in military custody (President Obama Signs Indefinite Detention Bill Into Law, Press Release, ACLU, 12/31/2010 at http://tinyurl.com/7oebus6 ) - There is a major campaign underway to deceive Americans into thinking NDAA does not apply to U.S. citizens. Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) said the legislation was carefully crafted to mislead the public. (U.S. Rep. Justin Amash opposes defense authorization bill, The Grand Rapids Press, 11/28/2010) - In a Jan. 5, 2011 BBC report, Professor Jonathan Turley of the Georgetown University School of Law called Obamas signing statement to not use NDAA powers against U.S. citizens a hollow promise which nevertheless gives the president and future presidents authoritarian powers to lock up U.S. citizens without trial and even kill them. Youtube of interview at: http://tinyurl.com/7ssg53d - Precise analysis of bill language at http://tinyurl.com/6o46y4n (Continuing Protests Against NDAA Indefinite Military Detention of U.S. Citizens, Recall Efforts On at DailyKos.com ) - The Washington Post has confirmed a secret list of Americans to be assassinated, reporting on Jan. 26, 2010: "The military's Joint Special Operations Command maintains a target list that includes several Americans...U.S. officials have said that the government is prepared to kill U.S. citizens who are believed to be involved in terrorist activities..." There is no way to determine who is on the list, as it is "classified." ("U.S. military teams, intelligence deeply involved in aiding Yemen on strikes," Washington Post, by Dana Priest, Jan. 27, 2010) - The only U.S. senators who voted against the NDAA are: Cardin (D-MD), Coburn (R-OK), Crapo (R-ID), DeMint (R-SC), Durbin (D-IL), Franken (D-MN), Harkin (D-IA), Lee (R-UT), Merkley (D-OR), Paul (R-KY), Risch (R-ID), Sanders (I-VT), Wyden (D-OR) - The Oath of Office for U.S. senators and congressmen, required by the Constitution before assuming duties, and American military officers is: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic Thomas Jefferson said: "I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution." - Citizens have launched recall campaigns against senators and congressmen who voted for the NDAA. The states which presently have such recall laws are Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. States which do not can pass them.
