Indefinite Military Detention of U.S. Citizens is allowed
WASHINGTON -- The Senate on Thursday blocked a second attempt to spare U.S. 
citizens from potential indefinite military detentions and was set to vote 
on a third effort to do the same later in the day.
 
Under a provision of the mammoth defense authorization bill, the military 
would be granted the authority to detain and hold anyone indefinitely if 
that individual is suspected of having ties to al Qaeda, including any 
American arrested in the United States.
 
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who chairs the Senate Intelligence 
Committee, offered an amendment to curb the measure by specifying that it 
applied to suspects captured "abroad." The amendment failed on a vote of 45 
to 55. Feinstein was expected to get a vote later in the day onanother 
amendment that would explicitly exclude U.S. citizens from military 
detention.
 
The heated debate has crossed party lines, with three Republicans -- Sens. 
Rand Paul (Ky.), Mike Lee (Utah) and Mark Kirk (Ill.) -- favoring the 
amendment, and 10 Democrats and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) 
opposing it. The debate also has left many Americans scratching their heads 
as to whether Congress is actually attempting to authorize the indefinite 
detention of Americans by the military without charges.
 
But proponents -- led by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Kelly Ayotte 
(R-N.H.) and Carl Levin (D-Mich.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services 
Committee -- say that is exactly what the war on terror requires. They 
argued that the bill simply codifies precedents set by the Supreme Court and 
removes uncertainty, which they said would better protect the country.
 
Ayotte argued that passing either of Feinstein's amendments would hurt 
security.
 
"I would ask my colleagues to reject [the amendments], which ... would take 
away the authority of the executive branch as allowed by our Supreme Court 
and would bring us back, would make us less safe in this country," said 
Ayotte, the former New Hampshire attorney general. "We have to protect 
America and make sure that we get the maximum information to prevent future 
attacks on this country."

Fine sotto il regno del papa nero Obama, ignobel per la pace.
 
Succede che gli usa diventano una dittatura, dove si puo' finire in un lager 
dell'esercito senza processo.
 
Almeno si fa giustizia, sara' dittatura a casa come lo e' all'estero.
 
 
 
Bene

E' sbagliato, ma è già successo nella storia americana. E la domocrazia 
non è morta

 non morta
 
a parte per i detenuti. Ovvero per tutti, perchè una democrazia per
una parte della popolazione NON è una democrazia
