Last week I put an item about the new NDAA law that allows the US military to indefinitely detain anyone, even American citizens, without charge.  By human nature, most people may say they are not terrorists, so don't have to worry.  It doesn't matter- the government does what it wants regardless of your innocence.  Just ask an innocent German who wrote his account in the NY Times.  I'm afraid this will become a common occurrence, but this time to American citizens.  They can even choose to kill you without accusing you or trying you in a court of law.  There are no Constitutional protections any more.  Call me an alarmist if you want, but better warned than ignorant.
