Senate backs military custody of terror suspects
The Senate moved to finish a huge defense bill authorizing 662 billion for military personnel and programs while denying trials for some terror suspects and allowing indefinite military custody without a trial. Feinstein sought to limit custody to outside U.S. captures, a push rejected 55-45. The bill aims to curb terrorism post 9 11 with broader military power amid White House veto threats and partisan divides.
