Obama Makes It Official: Suspected Terrorists Can Be Indefinitely Detained Without a Trial

Obama Makes It Official: Suspected Terrorists Can Be Indefinitely Detained Without a Trial

The decision will inevitably become fodder for criticism as Obama ramps up his 2012 reelection campaign. This is the same bill that Ron Paul recently compared to the Patriot Act but with more dire implications. "When the bar is low enough to include political enemies, our descent into totalitarianism is virtually assured," Paul said earlier this week. "The recently passed National Defense Authorization Act continues that slip into tyranny, and in fact, accelerates it significantly." Happy New Year?
