President Obama AGAIN signs the
National Defense Authorization Act
THIS STILL MEANS:
- The U.S. may detain indefinitely, without proof, Anyone worldwide, they "believe" may be a threat.
- GUANTANAMO detention and known torture facility may be open indefinitely, despite the President's promise to close it 4 years ago.
- This Act undermines our right of due process ("innocent until proven guilty") for not just Americans, but every person on the planet. If abused, it may be used to silence our freedom of speech as guaranteed by the Constitution.
10+ YEARS OF DETENTION AND MISTREATMENT WILL NOT MAKE US SAFER!
