Obama Would Veto ‘Forever War’ Language in Defense Bill
Susan Crabtree | May 24, 2011, 6:35PM

The White House is threatening to veto the annual must-pass House Defense Authorization bill over language dramatically expanding the president's power to wage the war on terror indefinitely, among other provisions.

In addition, the administration for the first time, is threatening to veto the bill over language limiting his ability to transfer detainees overseas or try them in civilian court.
