National Defense Authorization Act Allows Military To Torture American Citizens
Mon 5 Dec 2011 - 19:11
This week, the United States Senate passed S. 1867 also known as the
National Defense Authorization Act including sections 1031 and 1032
which authorize the military to arrest and indefinitely detain American
citizens without trial or charge. Despite national outcry over the bill
which effectively suspends the Constitutional rights of those suspected
of terrorist activities and would allow Americans to be incarcerated in
Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, the Senate passed the bill by an
overwhelming margin of 93-7. This means that Congress could easily
override the President’s threatened veto.
But this act of Congress is even more dangerous than we first thought.
Included in the bill is Amendment 1068 which was offered by Republican
Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire. This part of the bill undermines
President Obama’s executive order that bans torture and overrides the
list of permissible interrogation techniques in the US Army Field
Manual. In other words, the US military could arrest ordinary American
citizens without reading them their Miranda Rights, put them in a cell
at Gitmo without the benefit of an attorney, a trial, or charges of any
kind, and then torture them during interrogation. A secret list of
torture techniques would be created without public knowledge.
Who does this affect? Every single man, woman, and child on American
soil would be directly affected by this bill. It would give this
President and all future Presidents, the power to arrest American
citizens with the military and torture them into confession even if they
are innocent. Essentially, it turns the Presidency into a dictatorship
authorized to use the military against the people.
The Occupy movement in particular could face this unconstitutional
military action. Just imagine if Republicans captured the White House in
2012. Conservative media, corporations, and Republican politicians have
referred to the Occupy protesters as terrorists or worse than
terrorists. Just this accusation alone gives the President cause to
unleash the military to round up and arrest the protesters en masse,
suspend their constitutional rights, and torture them in a prison off
American soil, all because they were exercising their right to protest.
This is an extraordinarily dangerous and un-American bill that would
destroy the Constitution and our system of government. The judicial
system would be powerless to do anything about it too.
We the people must demand that our government discard this bill
permanently. It goes against everything America values and stands for.
We must write, email, call, and protest our senators and representatives
and the White House and call for action. You can also visit this page
and sign a petition. Unless Americans stand up and fight this, we may
one day have to rely on other countries to free us from ourselves.
