"This week, former military intelligence analyst William Arkin revealed a hitherto unknown directive, with the Orwellian name "JCS Conplan 0300-97," authorizing the Pentagon to employ special, ultra-secret "anti-terrorist" military units on American soil for what the author claims are "extra-legal missions."In other words, using U.S. soldiers to kill or arrest Americans, acts that have been illegal since the U.S. Civil War.

This frightening news comes as Washington is gripped by reborn, Cold-War-style paranoia, ominous threats of war against Iran from the real president, Dick Cheney, and a titanic bureaucratic battle just won by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld."

1. My rep alerted me to an unconstititional Northern Command

in Colorado that is in place for initiating military action within the US. Completely illegal and unconstitutional and mostly unreported.
What to do about it ? How could we let this criminal admin steal another 4 years?
Posse Commitatus I believe is the law that is being broken here. Lawyers?

3. Just when you think it can't get any worse.

Could this be what was holding up the intelligence bill that was submitted after the 911 commission wrote it's report? I remember cRummy was lobbying a couple of Senators to hold up the bill until he got the control for the pentagon that he was seeking. They kept spinning it to the public that it was to give 'actionable intelligence' to our commanders in a theater of war. I was immediately suspicious because they tend to hide some of their dirtiest deeds behind the guise of concern for our servicemen/women that are in harms way.
