US military has been given the ability to indefinitely detain US citizens accused of terrorism. And it apparently already had the authority to assassinate them as well.

I read the entire document back when people started slinging this around. It clearly states near the top of the detention section that it does not apply to US citizens. If you read the comments about the signing you can even see "In his signing statement attached to the NDAA, President Obama made it clear that the language about detentions does not apply to US citizens." It is just propaganda getting tossed around the internet.
