Yep, let's give government more power, sounds good to me.

That really isnt the case here though. People read that article and blow it way out of proportion. To fear what that article has to say simply means you fear the military and at the end of the day all the military will be doing is there jobs. its not giving more power to the government, its the government giving the military the right to apprehend possible and current threats to our national security and homeland.

There's the fear of ending up like the honest, hard working citizens who were detained without charge, or flown to countries where regard for human rights is low, and tortured. Fear based on precedent seems fairly rational.

It's nice to know, though, that I live in a country where I can be detained indefinitely without the protections that supposedly make it great.

then you haven't read up on the act, LoW and all of the other tacked provisions. If you are an honest working law abiding citizen, why would your life be any different? Just continue to live the way you have been for years. its not like soldiers would be out at every street corner setting up checkpoints to inspect your vehicle before entering citys. Besides, if you have been deemed a threat to the united states of America you would be "Processed" as one, just as someone being taken in as a PoW overseas. You are a PoW after being detained, you should be treated like one under the LoW and civil court is not part of that process.
