Provide a narrower definition for suspected terrorism in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012

Created by M.G. on January 23, 2012

Title X, Subtitle D, "Counter-Terrorism" in the NDAA is too loose in its description of what is suspected terrorism. It allows for far too much leeway in what is considered terrorism, and could be misused to detain innocent citizens for indefinite periods of time without trial. Ergo, more definition should be given to the nature of suspected terrorism, rather that the fluid definition that we currently have.
