Description

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2012 contains a subtitle addressing issues related to detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and more broadly, the disposition of persons captured in the course of hostilities against Al Qaeda and associated forces. Much of the debate surrounding passage of the act centered on what appears to be an effort to confirm or, as some observers view it, expand the detention authority that Congress implicitly granted the President via the Authorization for Use of Military Force in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. This report offers a brief background of the salient issues raised by the detainee provisions of the FY 2012 NDAA and provides a section-by-section analysis. A print on demand report.
