GLENN GREENWALD: Three myths about the detention bill

http://www.salon.com/2011/12/16/three_myths_about_the_detention_bill/singleton/

FROM DECEMBER 2011

The language of the bill President Obama will sign is crystal clear on most key issues -- and it is repugnant

Myth # 1: This bill does not codify indefinite detention

Myth #2: The bill does not expand the scope of the War on Terror as defined by the 2001 AUMF

Myth #3: U.S. citizens are exempted from this new bill
