detaining American citizens indefinitely without the right to counsel, without charges being filed, without the right to a fair and speedy trial, without any reason at all.

look up the NDAA . some will argue and they are partly correct that some form has existed for a very long time. 1870ish i believe.

but what was signed by obama on dec 31, 2011 goes into the realm of treason.

refer to the bill of rights . you'll see what i'm talking about.

also the USA involvement without Congressional approval in the Libyan air strikes. the president by-passed congress in an act of war against a soverian nation under the direction of the United Nations.

good luck with your teacher.
