BACKGROUND ARTICLES AND INFORMATION ON NDAA “INDEFINITE DETENTION”
NDAA: Open Season for the Police State

Note: while some believe that the 2013 NDAA eliminated indefinite detention, it does not. Dianne Feinstein introduced a very weak amendment to 2013 – and it failed anyway. 2012 indefinite detention provisions remain in tact – and the Obama administration is aggressively defending them in court.
