Federal Judge Blocks Controversial NDAA --Judge agreed statute failed to 'pass constitutional
muster' 16 May 2012 A federal judge
[Katherine Forrest] granted a preliminary injunction late Wednesday to block
provisions of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act that would allow the military to indefinitely detain anyone
it accuses of knowingly or unknowingly supporting terrorism.
Signed by President Barack Obama on New Year's Eve, the 565-page NDAA contains a
short paragraph, in statute 1021, letting the military detain anyone it suspects
"substantially supported" al-Qaida [al-CIAduh], the Taliban or "associated
forces." The indefinite detention would supposedly last until "the end of
hostilities."
