NDAA 2012 - uncalled for? unconstitutional?
Or is this something good? After all, senate seems to be largely in favor it.
All the propaganda seems to point towards the several specific sections (1031 and 1032?) being in violation of the bill of rights...sounds pretty terrifying, but maybe I'm missing something. Besides, it's not like the government hasn't violated rights and privacy in the past.
"Sec. 1031. Affirmation of authority of the Armed Forces of the United States
to detain covered persons
Sec. 1032. Requirement for military custody."
In isolation, the sections don't seem out of the ordinary.
Reading on,
"( APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS
AND LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.—
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The require-
ment to detain a person in military custody under
this section does not extend to citizens of the United
States."
Also, covered people are essentially defined as anyone that "supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces" or has some link to 9/11.
