Creative Speculation

The NDAA 2012 -- could there more to it than gouges the eyes? [View all]

I'm completely befuddled by Obama's actions, and Biden's support, and the Democrats in Congress (whose inexplicable behavior assured an over-ride of any Presidential veto). The short non-debate. None of this makes any sense.

UNLESS there's more to it. What that might be, I haven't a clue. It would allow military detention and PROTECTION of any American citizens who were involved with 9/11 and knew something about "bigger fish" involved in 9/11?? Is that even plausible as a wild speculation?? If so, then the Cheney-ites surely would have gotten wind and killed the bill, don't you think?

I'm lost. Anyone have a speculative idea along the "there's more to this" line?
