NDAA 2012: Obama Uses New Year's Eve As Cover To Usher In Fourth Reich Amerika (http://occupywallst.org/forum/ndaa-2012-obama-uses-new-years-eve-as-cover-to-ush/)
Along with signing NDAA, Obama released a Presidential Signing Statement in which he assured "Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation."
That sounds reassuring, but it doesn't mean much. "Presidential Signing Statements" are political documents that have no Constitutional basis and do not modify the laws to which they refer. In these Orwellian times, Obama's empty promise that we have nothing to worry about should warn us that in fact we have plenty to worry about.
