Wrong, NDAA 2012 was implicit. It had two sections. The first EXPLICITLY exempted US citizens, the second did not. One could imply that the second applied to US citizens because it lacked the EXPLICIT exemption. Therefore the second section only IMPLIEDLY applied to US Citizens.
Furthermore, the EXPRESS intent of the bill's cosponsors was to end indefinite detention of citizens. The bill should be interpreted in that light.
