WASHINGTON President Obama told human rights advocates at the White House on Wednesday that he was mulling the need for a preventive detention system that would establish a legal basis for the United States to incarcerate terrorism suspects who are deemed a threat to national security but cannot be tried, two participants in the private session said.
The discussion, in a 90-minute meeting in the Cabinet Room that included Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and other top administration officials, came on the eve of a much-anticipated speech Mr. Obama is to give Thursday on a number of thorny national security matters, including his promise to close the detention center at the naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
Human rights advocates are growing deeply uneasy with Mr. Obamas stance on these issues, especially his recent move to block the release of photographs showing abuse of detainees, and his announcement that he is willing to try terrorism suspects in military commissions a concept he criticized bitterly as a presidential candidate.

It is NOT paranoia when it is real.
So, what are American Citizens to believe? Øbama's proven lies or our own eyes?
I would like to share your optimism - on Obama’s ‘four’ years. Given Obama’s proclivities am not so sure it will not be more than four years; or even more than eight or twelve. . .
With Obama I’d believe anything. He is a flip flop empty suit marxist.
Watch for Obama’s Reichstag fire.
things that make you go hmmm
And, in last months memo, his administration identified who those terrorism suspects are.
My A$$ is right! IMO..there are too many Americans that fall under the Lexicon of Right Wing Extremism profile,for the Failure In
Chief,and His GOON SQUADS to ever enforce the above Legislation. The sooner the better.
Tell me where in the plan a U.S. citizen cannot be considered a terrorist? The two are not mutually exclusive.
Remember that Obama defines terrorist as someone who holds conservative views. This jerk is getting scarier every day that passes.
Obama is fricked up. If right wing extremists are terrorists will the ACLU and Obama go on retainer for them?
Sounds like the same sort of word play as, “depends on what the meaning of IS...is.”
Or
Compassionate conservatism
or
Enhanced interrogation techniques
Man oh man, these Oligarchs just freakin crack me up.
All the citizens of America want is for our “elected servants” to make it clear as to what they mean, and keep their word.
How did we ever get to the point that our elected representatives became royalty?
If Bush had proposed this, the monkeys in the MSM would be shaking their cage doors right off the walls.
Certainly the oligarchy, all their puppets and
nephilium cohort army
are but chaff to God’s Words, much less His angel armies.
The Great Tribulation is slated for 7 years . . . the worst of it for 3.5 years . . .
These are the birth pangs leading up to it.
OThuga is a place holder, stalking horse, forerunner.
And probably considered a fairly expendable one, at that.
If Bush had proposed this, the monkeys in the MSM would be shaking their cage doors right off the walls.
= = = =
INDEED.
well this sux, but many freepers are ‘strong on terror’ and supported similar measures when Bush and the Republicans were in control, so ho hum...
“I dont see a large problem with this as long as it applies to non-citizens. All full Constitutional rights MUST apply to citizens, without exception...”
You should, because it will apply only to citizens.
One reason I pray.
Have faith. The Lord has not abandoned us. Nothing can be resolved until everything is clear to everyone, and denial is burned away. All you're seeing is things being made clear.
No, we didn't. There is no worse.
