My compliments for the editorial “Victory for terror: Lee and Chaffetz defend liberties” (Our View, Dec. 19), which discussed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 and its provision allowing for the detention of American citizens without due process for indefinite periods. That should scare the socks off any thinking individual, and it will if enough news media take up the challenge.
One wonders why Sen. Orrin Hatch and Reps. Jim Matheson and Rob Bishop voted for it. Somebody ought to ask them.
