Chris Hedges and others are challenging the National Defense Authorization Act in court. The challenge is based on what is seen as loose definitions of such terms as "associated forces", "supporter of terrorism", "substantial support". It's possible, for example, that one could define a supporter of terrorism as peaceful activists, authors, academics and even
journalists interviewing members of radical groups. Basically, this law allows the military to arrest just about anybody anywhere without cause.
