We Are No Longer Citizens--In The U.S.A.

A letter (I wrote) re. the President's empowerment, bequeathed to him on News Years Day 2012, to choose which American citizens he will commit and confine to indefinite military detention in a cell, etc. (no lawyer and so on) (heil Hitler!):

(To Amnesty International / Jan. 4, 2012)

Regarding Amnesty International's recent email: Pres. Obama signed the NDAA - now we fight back.

Hello! I love your work!

However, regarding your assertion that "President Obama has yet again relented to extremists in Congress. On New Year's Eve, he signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law, along with its appalling detention provisions," I fail to understand. Actually, I was under the impression that the President returned the first NDAA to the original sponsors in the Senate, Levin and the other senator (R), because that version did Not empower the President to commit American citizens to indefinite military detention. Carl Levin said, and I saw him say this on the Senate video, that his original provision re. indefinite detention specifically did Not empower the President to detain indefinitely without charge, defense counsel, etc.

Why, then, the assertion (in your email) that Barack Obama has "yet again relented to extremists in Congress?" From what I know, and I have been following this--although I am neither a lawyer nor a politician--this man, i.e., the President, said he himself would veto the NDAA if the relevant provision specifically did Not empower him (really the office of the presidency, I would venture) to engage in detention at his own discretion, without charge, defense counsel, etc., of US citizens.

Am I missing something? Did he actually "relent," as you put it? Please correct me if I am wrong. Any relevant link would be most helpful. Or information from your own well of data would most certainly be appreciated--especially because it might help me salvage a bit of his reputation, clout, and honor if I were to learn that I--and others--were, and are, wrong, entirely.

Thank you!

PS: I did sign the, your letter to the President urging him to not sign the NDAA. Now they have been reminded that I exist--. Or maybe they never knew at all? Oh well!
