anyone catch this yesterday?

Pentagon to Detail Troops to Bolster Domestic Security

"There are critics of the change, in the military and among civil liberties groups and libertarians who express concern that the new homeland emphasis threatens to strain the military and possibly undermine the Posse Comitatus Act, a 130-year-old federal law restricting the military's role in domestic law enforcement."

for domestic security? what the hell is this? exactly how many steps is it from "domestic security" to "martial law"? i'm certainly not a conspiracty nut, but all it will take is somebody to do something stupid, and then, then we have problems... doesn't anybody study history anymore? am i the only one who sees how dangerous this is?

Michelle Obama was right about one thing, Barack will never let our lives go back to normal.

I hope tin foil is cheap...

So when the next Sept 11th rolls around are you going to be crying about these 20,000 troops?

You are.

So, who "exactly" will the U.S. Military Domestic Security Force be deployed against? Are their orders to shoot to kill? Or will they just round up "domestics" and herd them off to concentration ...... er, I mean "rehabilition" camps?

Who are their targeted "enemies"? Would the enemy be the names on a list? A list of registered gun owners?

This is not something you should take lightly, nor is it a joking matter.
