reply to post by GodofWar411

Thanks for your comments. I think that most of the disagreements on this Bill is the fact that people do not have or do not make the time to really dig into the legal definitions of it and/or the laws attached to it.
Hopefully they will take the time to understand the legal implications of it - it is a very serious part of this Bill.

your welcome and the other part explains that , you work on contracts so did I use to write them so yes I know some law and how it can be misused to ones gain, another ones forfeit , the Gov is not looking out for you it is looking out for it self in this matter, so who would be the victor ? The GOV. any and all loops holes will be used in the GOV favor , an innocent go by to "GIT MO" , do not think so, the GOV would pull out all the stops to prove, say, the person was, is, or could be guilty of a hostile or belligerent act, GIT MO is used as a detainment facility could be in ft hood TX, west desert of Utah, or at Git MO bay Cuba The law is meant for one who has the interest to know , or for one to say oh for get it, most will say "oh for get it"

this is form the S1867 ES bill . from this link www.altadenagroup.com...

For the edification of those who think it isn't aimed at US citizens:

Some things are unforgivable in a democracy. A bill moving through Congress, authorizing the military to imprison American citizens indefinitely, without a trial or hearing, ranks right at the top of that list.

I know - I lived through it on the Patriot Act. When Congress decided to squelch the truth about the CIA's advance warnings about 9/11 and the existence of a comprehensive peace option with Iraq, as the CIA's chief Asset covering Iraq, I became an overnight threat. To protect their cover-up scheme, I got locked in federal prison inside Carswell Air Force Base, while the Justice Department battled to detain me "indefinitely" up to 10 years, without a hearing or guilty plea. Worst yet, they demanded the right to forcibly drug me with Haldol, Ativan and Prozac, in a violent effort to chemically lobotomize the truth about 9/11 and Iraqi Pre-War Intelligence.

Critically, because my legal case was controlled by civilian Courts, my Defense had a forum to fight back. The Judge was an independent arbiter. And that made all the difference. If this law on military detentions had been active, my situation would have been hopeless. The Patriot Act was bad enough. Mercifully, Chief Justice Michael B. Mukasey is a preeminent legal scholar who recognized the greater impact of my case. Even so, he faced a terrible choice - declaring me "incompetent to stand trial," so my case could be killed - or creating dangerous legal precedents tied to secret charges, secret evidence, secret grand jury testimony and indefinite detention - from the Patriot Act's arsenal of weapons against truth tellers - that would impact all defendants in the U.S. Courts.

It was a hideous choice - The judicial farce was more ugly because it stamped me a "religious maniac" for believing in God - a ludicrous argument. It lined up beautifully, however, with Congress' desire to bastardize the "incompetence" of Assets engaged in Pre-War Intelligence. Anything to escape responsibility for their own poor decision making.

To this day, it scorches my heart with rage and betrayal. It was unforgivable on so many levels.

And it had nothing to do with fighting terrorism. This was about fighting truth - and protecting powerful leaders in Washington determined to glorify themselves with phony patriotism and media fireworks in the War on Terrorism - a fantasy if there was one.

Basically, this has happened, is happening, and now it adds another legal layer to obfuscate and void citizens' rights "in time of war" beautifully since the undeclared "War on Terror" will never, ever, end: it is far too useful to those in power.

Personally, I believe the "War on Terror" was contrived expressly to be aimed at its ultimate target: the US citizen who demands his or her Constitutional rights to be respected.
