You are being deceived by the misrepresentations of what the legislation actually says and means. In fact, doing what Ron Paul insists must be done would constitute a war crime, which is why Allen West and others rightly rejected Ron Paul’s claims.
I believe the law allows the Military and their Commander in chief to declare America a “Battle Zone”. With this declaration in effect it allows the Military to arrest Americans as Terrorists. Under this arrest they can be incarcerated for as long as they like with no further charges placed against them, and without benefit of an attorney.
As I read this Posse Comitatus and Habeas Corpus are ignored in violatiopn of the Constitution. Now I am no lawyer, and I am not a Constitutional scholar, but if I am wrong tell me where misrepresentation is.
