What important information is missing from this article?
That’s an awfully open-ended question. I can’t guess what you have in mind.
“What important information is missing from this article?”
1. In general, information sufficient to make an intelligent evaluation.
2. The language of the proposed legislation.
3. That it reemphasizes Public Law 107-40 which was passed in 2001 in response to 911.
4. That maybe it’s just supposed to deal with belligerents engaged in hostilities against the United States, even if they are US Citizens, in accordance with the Law of War, and that if trials are necessary they may be conducted by the Military.
5. That belligerents captured during hostilities have frequently be kept indefinitely, that is till the end of hostilities.
6. That “they” could already hold people indefinitely without trial if they want to. (I’m not claiming they do, just that they could.)
7. Repeat 1 above.
