"THis is the state gov't and not the feds, right!"

No. The 82nd Airborne is there to back them up. The feds and the 82nd said they would not get involved in Gen. Compass's sweep. The 82nd however will back the imported goons and thug outfits like the OK guard if the encounnter some difficulty. Bush of course knows what's going on.

It looks like it's still a state issue as Blanco never did turn the operation over to the feds, that's why the evacuation failed.

Some one needs to fill several lawsuits and stop these unconstitutional state/federal activities!
