New Changes in Detainee Bill

These are some of the changes worked between senators and white house.

-In orignal language the suspect had the right to respond and examin all evidence, in the new bill word examine is dropped and only respond to is left.
-The new bill has dropped the words about evidence gathered outside the United States.
- "The bill also broadened the definition of an unlawful enemy combatant, from anyone “engaged in hostilities against the United States” to include anyone who “has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States.”
