Martial Law

Forget the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, the Pentagon already has plans to use the military in case of domestic terrorist attack.

"Don't Let a Little Thing Like "The Law" Get in the Way

Here's a little tidbit from yesterday's (8/8) FNL that should make everyone sit up & pay attention.

At 12:03pm (EDT) Greg Kelly reported on the US military planning a "domestic military response" in case of a terror attack in the US. Kelly said such duties could include "crowd control" & coping with the aftermath of a WMD attack. He also noted that the Pentagon is in a "delicate position" because they are "by law prevented from" doing this, but the Pentagon believes it "could be used on orders from" POTUS & it "may have to take charge of" certain crisis duties."

And from the Washington Post-via Truthout (august 8th):
War Plans Drafted to Counter Terror Attacks in US

" Colorado Springs - The U.S. military has devised its first-ever war plans for guarding against and responding to terrorist attacks in the United States, envisioning 15 potential crisis scenarios and anticipating several simultaneous strikes around the country, according to officers who drafted the plans.

...The Pentagon's new homeland defense strategy, issued in June, emphasized in boldface type that "domestic security is primarily a civilian law enforcement function." Still, it noted the possibility that ground troops might be sent into action on U.S. soil to counter security threats and deal with major emergencies. "
