A baby was killed in Bahrain by riot police firing tear gas into homes on Sunday. 

Bahrain’s dictator is systematically killing protesters and the Obama Administration is arming him with the tear gas and grenades used to kill this baby.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was just passed by Congress, and is on its way to the President’s desk. The bill contains a dangerous provision that could be read to authorize the military to detain anyone in our country, including U.S. citizens, without charge or trial.

The bill gives the military the authority to arrest and detain citizens indefinitely, torture them and even assassinate them on U.S. soil.

NDAA declares the United States a “battlefield” and give Obama and any future presidents the power to transfer suspected members and supporters of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, or “associated” groups “to the custody or control of the person’s country of origin, any other foreign country, or any other foreign entity,” rendition as it has applied to foreigners in violation of human rights. 

The President’s advisors are recommending that he not veto this legislation despite earlier promises to do so.

The whole world is not a battlefield and President Obama should make that clear. Tell the President to veto any bill that contains indefinite detention without charge or trial.
