With Indefinite Detention Measure, To Be Signed By Obama, Americans Can Be Handed Over To Foreigners For Interrogation And Torture Without Being Charged And Held Forever Without Trial!
The Obama administration is continuing to come under intense criticism from civil liberties groups for saying it will sign a controversial defense spending bill that  legal experts say would authorize the military to jail Americans it suspects of terrorist activity anywhere in the world without charge or trial. While much of the media focus has been on the bill’s provisions regarding indefinite detention, Mother Jones magazine has revealed the bill also contains text that could make it legal for the U.S. government to transfer American citizens to foreign regimes for interrogation and torture, a process known as rendition. We speak with Mother Jones’ national security reporter, Nick Baumann, who also details the cases of several U.S. citizens who have already been detained abroad by foreign security forces, interrogated, sometimes abused, and asked questions they believe could only have come from U.S. law enforcement.
