On Monday, the Senate will grapple with Congress’ latest bipartisan
foolishness, the National Defense Authorization
Act<http://armed-services.senate.gov/press/SASC%20NDAA%20Markup%2002%2011-15-11.pdf>.
Ironically opposed by both the White House and the Pentagon, it would
expand preventive and arbitrary detention beyond Guantánamo Bay and the
CIA’s shuttered black sites, importing it into the domestic United States.

The Senate Armed Services Committee, led by Senators Carl Levin
(D-Michigan) and John McCain (R-Arizona), approved the bill despite its
provisions for military detention of any suspect (even those apprehended
within the United States) accused (not proven) of involvement in any
terror-related offense. Presumably, military detention would include those
accused of offenses as innocuous as "lying to a federal agent," unrelated
to actual terrorism yet classified as terror-related.
