Activists Win Preliminary Injunction Blocking Enforcement of NDAA s Military Detention Provision

Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''Seven journalists and activists who sued President Barack Obama earlier this year over the controversial indefinite detention provision in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) were handed a surprise victory Wednesday by a federal court judge who issued a preliminary injunction blocking its enforcement. Congress may go a step further. An amendment to the 2013 NDAA introduced by Reps. Adam Smith (D-Washington) and Justin Amash (R-Michigan) would eliminate the provision in the bill that authorizes indefinite military detention without trial for those captured in the US.''

Kucinich: NDAA Authorizes War Against Iran

Congressman Dennis Kucinich, The Office of Dennis Kucinich: ''This week, Congress is considering two pieces of legislation relating to Iran. The first undermines a diplomatic solution with Iran and lowers the bar for war. The former Chief of Staff of Secretary of State Colin Powell has stated that this resolution 'reads like the same sheet of music that got us into the Iraq war.' The second authorizes a war of choice against Iran and begins military preparations for it. A plain reading of these provisions in H.R. 4310 taken together with H.R. 568 makes it clear: Congress is setting the stage for war with Iran.''
