14 years ago
Alright, this has two names: The broad audience name National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2012, and the bill's name in the senate, S. 1867. the entirety of said bill can be found here. this is the version that has passed senate. Under "SEC. 1032. REQUIREMENT FOR MILITARY CUSTODY", subsection a paragraph 2 states:
'(2) COVERED PERSONS- The requirement in paragraph (1) shall apply to any person whose detention is authorized under section 1031 who is determined--
(A) to be a member of, or part of, al-Qaeda or an associated force that acts in coordination with or pursuant to the direction of al-Qaeda; and
(B) to have participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners.'
Those are the requirements to be abducted and detained by military forces. Now, look at Subsection b in regards to US citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens:
'(b) Applicability to United States Citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens-
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.'
Carefully reread subsection b paragraph 1 again: The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
And one more time. The requirement to detain a person in military custody does not extend to citizens of the United States.
Once more. The requirement does not extend to citizens of the United States.
Spelled out, US citizens do not need to meet requirements in order to be be detained into military custody. Call Rand Paul if you don't believe me yet, not only will you receive confirmation, but you will also know that indeed it is getting little to no media coverage. Talk to everyone you know about this, the news won't do this for you.
