A. Did you read it?

B. If it has been around for decades why has it been changed now?

I'm missing it: what has been significantly changed other than updating, given the bottom several paragraphs? What is the concern that they've "slipped through" in the update?

I agree small changes can bring big consequences to reality (Patriot Act) but I simply don't know the specific concern here. Not saying there isn't one, just tell me what it is, I'm missing it.

You're much further ahead to ignore this vapid, pre-programmed cow.

Fortunately I don't subject myself to her insolent drivel.

This is just another cog in the wheel of the Orwellian nightmare that Obama is trying to obliterate our Constitution with.

Now, any US citizen that happens to be a foreign correspondent, particularly in one of his unprovoked war action territories, can now be considered at Terrorist sympathizer if they don't tote the party line in their reporting and held indefinitely -

Question: What is the difference between the National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order, that Clip Clop references; and the entirely different HR 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act as passed by Congress, that Rude Boy quotes?

Answer: Rude Boy Elvis clearly doesn't note the difference. They are two entirely different things.

How vapid of him. How pre-programmed of him.
Oh, teh stupid. It burns.

In regards to Clip Clops reference, here is Snopes discussing the Nat. Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order and the false fears currently flying around the internet about it. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ndrp.asp

Which, again, has nothing at all to do with the entirely different thing Rude Boy Elvis is moronically bellowing on about.

You worry too much. Trust and love our fearless leader. He has your best interest at heart. Now drink your kool-aid.

DHS and the terminology, specifically "national defense" and the very vagueness of it all.
War isn't what it used to be.

it all speaks to what i posted the other day-the wasted money on duplication of tasks. all they've done with creating another agency is spend more money; i doubt in the long run it makes us 'safer'. another thing that boggled my mind after 9/11 and still does-smaller towns going after 'their' money for fighting potential terrorist attacks. yeah, cause hamburg arkansas is high on a list of targets.
it would be nice if people would stop trying to hitch their wagon to the gravy train, as tho it's 'free' money and they need to get their share. ridiculous. again, bloating of the fed, rather than states having the ability to allocate to their areas correctly. but, that's all beating a dead horse, isn't it?
