Sigh...
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says senior officials will not recommend that President Barack Obama veto the defense bill awaiting passage in Congress.
A White House statement says changes by congressional negotiators would not challenge or restrict the president's ability to collect intelligence or incapacitate terrorists.
The White House had threatened a veto over provisions requiring military custody of suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaida.
What could go wrong with "empowering" the government to detain people without due process?
At least it delivered a killer segment of
The Daily Show.
