Links from the Times: National Defense Authorization Act

7

December

In Florida, Sen. Marco Rubio has been attacked as a “traitor.” In Arizona, tea party members protested against Sen. John McCain. In Utah, Occupy  demonstrators donned black hoods to stand against “radical and uncalled for constraints on our constitutional rights.” The uprising — powered by a rare alliance of the left and right — is directed at provisions of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, approved by the Senate last week, that would require the military to arrest terrorist suspects in the United States and detain them indefinitely without trial. Read the act here. The controvesial provisions are under "Detainee Matters."
