POPSObama’s Threatened Veto of Indefinite Detention Bill Is NOT to Protect Liberty
By requiring military detention of the captured, Congress is undoing all the maneuvering that two regimes have accomplished in removing POW status from detainees. he November 17 letter to the Senate from the Executive Office of the President says that the Obama regime does not want the authority it has under the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), Public Law 107-40, to be codified. Codification is risky, the regime says. In other words, the regime is saying that under AUMF the executive branch has total discretion as to who it detains and how it treats detainees. Moreover, as the executive branch has total discretion, no one can find out what the executive branch is doing, who detainees are, or what is being done to them. Those who see hope in Obama’s threatened veto have jumped to conclusions if they think the veto is based on constitutional scruples. more How Does Liberty Die? http://bit.ly/txrqVR http://www.washingtonsblog.com
