Tom Ridge, the newly appointed Director of Homeland Security, who developed the strategy, said yesterday that US troops might ringfence cities in the event of a chemical or biological attack

Ummmm...wouldn't that be the job of each state's National Guard? Wouldn't an attack of this sort cause a local martial law declaration? I am a huge supporter of Bush, but this doesn't sound right.

I am no longer a huge supporter of Bush. I have no idea anymore what Bush's agenda is, but it has nothing to do with smaller, less-intrusive government, that's for sure. As near as I can tell, he wants to turn the entire country into an airport terminal and have minimum wage Gestapo agents on every street corner.
