From Facebook: Thus the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA could be critical to the Obama administration for justifying not only its detention policy, but also its use of drones for extrajudicial killings.
As NDAA plaintiff Tangerine Bolen told BI, the government may have argued that a block of the NDAA would cause "irreparable harm" to the U.S. because it would possibly be "exposing illegal activities for the last decade. It could have a set of ripple consequences: we could see people in the Bush administration, Obama administration and security agencies be investigated for how they have applied the AUMF."
It appears that the NDAA is being used as cover for illegal actions taken by the Bush and Obama administrations.
