DNAA was the bill that Obama signed on December 31, 2011. The DNAA bill is about that U.S government can arrest anyone whom they think are suspected as a terrorist, whether the suspected person is U.S citizen or anyone within in United State. After arrest the person the government doesn’t need to give them any of the Bill of Right. Such as the right to gain access to lawyers, family, and the court itself once they are detained within the military. Therefore, Americans can he held in a military custody and has no access to the outside world and it is legal for the governments to do that. I think DNAA has a connection with the book “Zeitoun” because after the Hurricane Katrina Zeitoun was held in the military custody for a long period of time because the government thinks that he was a terrorist. In addition, while Zeitoun was held in the prison he didn’t get any of the right as being U.S citizen. For instance, he didn’t have any access to a lawyer, couldn’t call his family, and was abuse when he was in the prison. Therefore, DNAA is just proving that it is legal for the governments to put any one in the United Sated into prison if they think that they are terrorists.
