1878 Military Law Gets New Attention
Nov 24, 2001 - This bit of relative antiquity defines the role of the US Military in our lives and keeps us from becoming little more than a wealthy banana republic.
Currently, America's military is largely prohibited from acting as a domestic police force. And while the presence of military "advisors" during the siege, brutality and slaughter at WACO Texas set ominous trends in motion, few thought in terms of its implications. But that was before the terrorism of September 11, 2001, now glibly called "911." "Our way of life has forever changed,'' wrote Sen. John Warner R-Va., in an October 2001 letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. "Should this law [Posse Comitatus Act] now be changed to enable our active-duty military to more fully join other domestic assets in this war against terrorism?''

We all know how they handled WACO, don't we. (Perfectly, according to some of you.) Add to this the Homeland Security secret police force Bush-Cheney want, with no whistle-blower protection, and you’ve got a recipe for, oh, what?

(You might want to read German history from 1932 to 1936 to get a better perspective on what’s happening.)
