article said:
Barack Obama has abandoned a commitment to veto a new security law that allows the military to indefinitely detain without trial American terrorism suspects arrested on US soil who could then be shipped to Guantánamo Bay.
The law, contained in the defence authorisation bill that funds the US military, effectively extends the battlefield in the "war on terror" to the US and applies the established principle that combatants in any war are subject to military detention.
The legislation's supporters in Congress say it simply codifies existing practice, such as the indefinite detention of alleged terrorists at Guantánamo Bay. But the law's critics describe it as a draconian piece of legislation that extends the reach of detention without trial to include US citizens arrested in their own country.
Goodbye Constitution.

You are overestimating the implications. No law abiding citizen should have anything to fear.
fix'd it 4 you
still the most powerful country in the world and leaders of western democracy and culture.
cya europe
I so want China to bomb your country some day.
coool story bro u send 120,000 troops to middle east and cant even kill some farmers and only seem to be able to kill the British Army.
-we wanted and try to fix shit for ppl that dont deserve it-
first of all, what the fuck did u do in vietnam? for killing 2mil poor ppl, oh and afghanistan etc (700k victims for 1 terrorist), ok hero whos the next ?
Might be the most powerful country in the world, but nobody cares about that anymore because if war is going to break out then it will be a nuclear war, and nobody on earth can take such losses, so your army is highly irrelevant to anything happening on this earth, and actually it appears to be quite funny that you can almost commit genocides and yet you are not able to find a few thousand Taliban in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan.
And the fact you people over there believe that you're better off than Europe makes me smile, but at the same time die a little inside.
Culture...got me laughing on that one though, really... lost all relations to reality.
so your grand grand grand grand father was a molester / killer / lunatic. you should deal with it.

we still have red dots
We're more than 7% behind you which is quite a way if you consinder only 30.5% of your country is obese.
taking the bronze is the uk
Other senators supported the new powers on the grounds that al-Qaida was fighting a war inside the US and that its followers should be treated as combatants, not civilians with constitutional protections.
Unbelievable.

But it is highly unlikely there would ever be another civil war on the scale of the previous one.
