A clear violation of Posse Comatatus, and a signed confession to boot! This general belongs in Levinworth.
With an attourney general named "Alberto Gonzales", I don't think that will be happening. More likely, Gonzales will present him with a La Raza award.
Paragraph 4 clearly states..
" I strongly encourage all civilians within this command to refrain from participating... "
Posse Commitatus refers to military involvement in civilian law enforcement..
There is no military involvement.. The advisory is to civilian employees of the Command..
Further, it is an advisory only, not a directive..
No threats concerning involvement have been made, no penalty, no claims that such activity is illegal, or against the Command's regulations..
The Commander has merely expressed his concern, and "encouraged" civilian employees to refrain from participating.
Under such circumstances, while some employees may be intimidated and refrain from that perspective, they are ultimately free to choose, and act according to their own conscience..
I would hope that they would ignore this communication and act in the interests of their country..
