The movie 'SwordFish' had an interesting premise. Some group (headed by Travolta) steals billions with the intention to use it to finance a pro-US terror group. Basically, if the Islamic terrorists kill an American they will kill ten of them, if they bomb a school bus they bomb ten of their schools, they attack a US city then the group would use a tactical nuke on the muslims etc etc etc (Travolta's character said it far better than I just did).

I know I shouldn't, but I found that premise a little on the alluring side (now, for the CIA/FBI/NSA/etc - I'm not saying I would advocate it or carry it out or anything like that, so do not waste your time dredging up my tax returns for the last 10 years. Spend that time looking for the REAL bad guys. Had to say that since some of our guys tend to strip-search grannies instead of doing what is really necessary to protect the country).

Anyways, that movie had an interesting premise.

Alluring indeed. But if such a Swordfish-esque militia were established to combat America's enemies, the FBI/ATF would spend more time and resources pursuing them than the Islamo-facists.

All so that Washington could declare us "a nation of laws" - while 15M Illegal Immigrants run free and polticians cower from the drive-by media and ACLU/CAIR.

Agreed 100%. I think it will come to fruition some day if the West continues to be attacked and have its hands tied.
