U.S. President George W. Bush signs S. 3930, the Military Commissions Act of 2006

U.S. President George W. Bush signs S. 3930, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, in the East Room of the White House in Washington October 17, 2006.

American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Anthony D. Romero said, "The president can now, with the approval of Congress, indefinitely hold people (americans included) without charge, take away protections against horrific abuse, put people on trial based on hearsay evidence, authorize trials that can sentence people to death based on testimony literally beaten out of witnesses, and slam shut the courthouse door for habeas petitions."
