NP: Alienation and Sedition Act?

S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012,
is being attacked by people who, for the most part, haven't read it at
all, and also and by firebaggers who are up to their "Dem's are
hardly, if at all, better than Repubs so don't vote for them either"
tricks.

The ACLU, which I practically always agree with, has said “The Senate
is going to vote on whether Congress will give this president—and
every future president — the power to order the military to pick up
and imprison without charge or trial civilians anywhere in the world.
The power is so broad that even U.S. citizens could be swept up by the
military and the military could be used far from any battlefield, even
within the United States itself.” They, and Sen. Mark Udall cite
sections are 1031 and 1032 of the bill.

Would someone please actually read the sections in question and then
explain to me how these they represent a new threat to Americans, or
even to "lawful resident aliens." I'd really appreciate it, 'cause I
don't see it!  I really would like to understand.  I mean it!
