NDAA 2012: Obama Insists on Indefinite Detention for Americans. What Is Going On???



Hochgeladen von thetruthergirls am 12.12.2011

Will Obama pass a bill that allows for the indefinite detention of Americans? Will this bill give any more powers to the government than it already has?
Usually, Presidents pass this kind of bill either upon taking up office or when they are on their way out of office, not when they are about to run for re-election and this makes it all the more confusing to me. Possibly, this bill will do little to give the government more power, but will have a major effect on the upcomig elections, whether Obama passes it or vetoes it. Maybe tis is what this is really about?
