NEW YORK, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- A federal judge in New York has overturned part of a law effectively allowing the indefinite detention of terrorism suspects.
A one-paragraph provision in the sprawling National Defense Authorization Act, signed by President Obama Dec. 31, 2011, enables the Pentagon to detain suspected al-Qaida or Taliban members, members of "associated groups" and anyone who has "substantially supported" them until the "end of hostilities" against the terror groups.
