"The Senate approved a $662 billion defense bill to fund military payrolls, weapons programs, and other national security programs. Despite the Senate’s overwhelming support, President Obama has threatened to veto the bill because it contains a provision requiring the military to indefinitely hold suspected terrorists in military rather than civilian prisons even if they are captured on US soil – unless they are American citizens.
