Remove the indefinite detention provision of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012.

Created by D.I. on November 11, 2012

In its original form, the NDAA allows the military hold anyone who commits a “belligerent act” against the United States, yet fails to explicitly define what is constituted as such.

President Obama, you have said, "The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it.” “In particular, I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.”

If this is the case, please remove the provision!
