Levin again stressed recently that the bill applies to American citizens, and said that it was president Obama who requested that it do so:..

This bill if passed into law will be far more dangerous to American Citizens than the enemy combatants. I would not trust this kind of power in hands of good men, much less Obama.

—Congress is on track to require military custody for suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaida and indefinite detention without trial for some suspects, even U.S. citizens captured on American soil.

Libertarian Republicans and progressive Democrats opposed to the mandates grudgingly conceded Tuesday that they had lost the fight to eliminate the provisions from a sweeping defense bill heading toward congressional approval. The House is expected to vote Wednesday on the $662 billion measure that authorizes funds for military personnel, weapons, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and national security programs in the Energy Department. A Senate vote is possible on Thursday.
