Critics accused the president of caving in again to pressure from some Republicans on a counter-terrorism issue for fear of being painted in next year's election campaign as weak and of failing to defend America.
Human Rights Watch said that by signing the bill Obama would go down in history as the president who enshrined indefinite detention without trial in US law.



it was that sort of thinking that caused broad approval for invading afganistan and iraq! it was wrong then, it's wrong now. once again, more worry about re-election than in doing what's right.

does someone have to actually be detained to get the scotus wheels moving, or can someone just bring it for review? not sure. either way, i can't believe that this will be a law. unbelievable.

and yes, anti, obama is different. he's a democrat, therefore is good. now, if he was a republican signing this joke into law, we'd hear how it's bad, mmmkay. see, it's not the law-it's the party affiliation of the person signing it.

Probably Faux News didn't tell them what to think about it.

Once again I'll say it, Obama is far to the right of my views...better (slightly) than a Republican.
