NDAA, Indefinite Detention, And The Battle Raging Against The Most Important Law You’ve Never Heard Of

From the Article:

“The deterioration of civil liberties under the Obama Administration has complete continuity with the attack on civil liberties under the Bush Administration,” [Chris] Hedges told hundreds of supporters outside the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse Second Circuit Court of Appeals Feb. 6, following oral arguments from both sides of the issue. “In fact, under the Obama Administration it has been worse. The radical interpretation of the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force Act [AUMF] has given the U.S. government, in particular the executive branch, the right to assassinate American citizens.”

“This case is one of the most important cases in decades,” added [Daniel] Ellsberg, continuing that the provision “overturn[s] 200 years of domestic law to allow the military onto our streets” and hold those suspected “indefinitely.”

If the media doesn't talk about COG, it just isn't a problem with these folks here.

That is true no matter which side of the fence you sit on!

You're right, CC. These people are convinced that the state-controlled media, which includes FOXNews, are telling them what they need to know. If people actually understood what this meant, there'd be an uprising. So the media keep it quiet.
