Obama vil ikke legge ned veto mot NDA.

I forrige uke ble vi fortalt at Obama ville legge ned veto mot NDA (National defence authorization act). Ikke av de rette grunnene - men en veto ville uansett vært fordelaktig.

Nå rapporterer RT at dette ikke stemmer. Loven er selvfølgelig en grov overtramp av amerikaneres rettigheter og på bakgrunn av dette trodde mange at Obama vil legge ned veto mot loven. Tro om igjen.


Det viser det seg at det var Obama/administrasjonen selv som fjernet beskyttelsen av amerikanske statsborgere fra loven. I den originale loven fantes det en slik beskyttelse - den ble fjernet på administrasjonens etterspørsel.

Think that President Obama will stand by his word and veto the legislation that will allow the government to detain American citizens without charge or trial? Think again.

Senator Levin told Congress recently that under the original wording of the National Defense Authorization Act, American citizens were excluded from the provision that allowed for detention. Once Obama’s officials saw the text though, says Levin, “the administration asked us to remove the language which says that US citizens and lawful residents would not be subject to this section.”
Specifically, the section that Obama asked to be reworded was Section 1031 of the NDAA FY2012, which says that "any person who has committed a belligerent act" could be held indefinitely.
“It was the administration that asked us to remove the very language which we had in the bill which passed the committee…we removed it at the request of the administration,” said Levin. “It was the administration which asked us to remove the very language the absence of which is now objected to.

Obama vil altså ikke legge ned veto mot NDA fordi han var med å skrev NDA.
Dette må Ron Paul bruke for alt det er verdt. Selv de verste Obama-dronene bør få seg en støkk av dette.
