Dangerous bill

This is going around - looks to me like another Patriot Act kind of thing that could be used to rein in Americans who don't agree with their government, if that government wanted to:

S.3081 - Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010

A bill to provide for the interrogation and detention of enemy belligerents who commit hostile acts against the United States, to establish certain limitations on the prosecution of such belligerents for such acts, and for other purposes.

+++++++++++++++

Lots of wiggle room for who is defined as an enemy belligerent.
