Barack Obama and Civil Liberties

I have written this on earler, deleted posts, but I think that Barack Obama is not a bad President for civil liberties. He has supported the ability of people who are captives at Guantanamo Bay to challenge their captivity. People who have been accused of attempted terrorism domestically have gone through the regular process of being tried in regular courts. As far as the National Defense Authorization Act and its provision that people accused of terroristic activities can be held captives indefinitely, that eventually included a statement that it did not substantively change any law which may make the law more moderate, and the bill itself was not Obama's idea anyway.
