While the bill claims the requirement for military custody does not extend to U.S. citizens, the hosts argue that the definition of an "unprivileged enemy belligerent" remains dangerously vague. The legislation effectively ensures that Guantanamo Bay will remain open, contradicting previous campaign promises by President Obama.

Senator Carl Levin reveals that the Obama administration specifically requested the removal of language that would have exempted U.S. citizens from indefinite detention provisions. The hosts express shock that the administration actively sought the power to detain citizens as "supporters of Al-Qaeda."

The order effectively formalizes indefinite detention without trial, contradicting 2008 campaign promises to close the facility within one year. A typo in the original White House posting of the order, using the word "pursuant" incorrectly, is noted.
