Very insightful post. I'm gearing up to preparing myself to yet again read Mein Kampt (Haven't read it in decades) but your comment again was insightful and intelligent.
Got bad news.
Liturgical historians' majority opinion is that Hitler didn't personally write, compose or even dictate Mein Kamph.

"until the end of hostilities" is open and does not mean not at all

The result will be an official Control Grid and Martial Law (for our own good, of course.).edit on 27-11-2011 by CosmicCitizen because: (no reason given)

There is very little cause to be proud to be an American any more. We're Amerikan's. I'm wondering exactly when did we take this turn?

They say the inprisonment indefinately without trial does not apply to US citizens however they dont say the arrest doesnt apply in other words they can say sorry you was in millitary custody for 6 months but we just needed to verify you was a US citizen. The Senators can then decry the millitary publicly just in time to get the voters on side for the next ellection as I said Im just a Brit but its how it reads to me

Literary historians' majority opinion is that Hitler didn't personally write, compose or even dictate Mein Kamph.
Which literary historians would those be??
As far as I can see the only suggestion that someone else wrote it is an uncorroborated suggestion by Jesuit priest, Fr. Alberto Rivera, that a fellow Jesuit named Fr. Staempfle wrote it. This story is found around all the usual conspiracy sites, often in exactly the same format.
UPDATE: Don’t be confused by anyone claiming that the indefinite detention legislation does not apply to American citizens. It does. There is an exemption for American citizens from the mandatory detention requirement (section 1032 of the bill), but no exemption for American citizens from the authorization to use the military to indefinitely detain people without charge or trial (section 1013 of the bill). So, the result is that, under the bill, the military has the power to indefinitely imprison American citizens, but it does not have to use its power unless ordered to do so.
Defying a veto threat from President Obama, the Senate voted Tuesday to preserve language that would give the U.S. military a crack at al Qaeda operatives captured in the U.S., even if they are American citizens.
Led by Sen. Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, senators voted 61-37 to preserve the language that gives the military custody of al Qaeda suspects, rather than turning them over to law enforcement officials.
“We are at war with al Qaeda and people determined to be part of al Qaeda should be treated as people who are at war with us,” Mr. Levin said.
He and Arizona Sen. John McCain, the ranking Republican on his committee, had struck a deal earlier this month on giving the military priority custody, while allowing the administration to waive that and give civilian authorities priority if it deems the waiver in the interests of national security.

Droidinvoid,
If you're going to post BS, be prepared to be exposed.
This is from the bill.
(b) Applicability to United States Citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens-
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.
Anyone interested in this bill, search S.1867, and READ THE BILL!!!!
