I dunno, I wondered from the go how come Delta wasn't on scene. This was an act of terrorism; an act of war. I do not see how Posse Commutatis(sp) comes into effect, or how this is a law enforcement issue.
U.S. Citizen. The Constitution applies, as do all other laws protecting citizens.
The fact that 90% of the media was supporting the idea that the terrorists were white supremist, Tea Party, Republicans, should give you pause and affirm the fact that you do not want U.S. citizens treated as military targets without due process. Even overseas, I’m a firm believer that U.S. citizens should not be specifically targeted without first having a trial in abstentia.
Chris Matthews would have started raiding Boy Scout Dens and arresting College Republicans for suspicion of treason, and is Matthews really cut from a different bolt of cloth than the Dems in the government?
The military wasn’t involved on the ground because they didn’t need to be involved on the ground. Terrorism is not an exclusively military issue. There was nothing that the Boston police and Federal LEOs needed that they didn’t have to conduct a large urban search. I would assume that they were much better prepared to do so than the military would have been. After all, its their city.
