""the threat of catastrophic terrorism requires a thorough review of the laws permitting the military to act within the United States in order to determine whether domestic preparedness and response efforts would benefit from greater involvement of military personnel, and if so how." "

Share appropriate intelligence and help to secure our borders.
That fits within the present Posse Commitatas.

Review it all you want- learn it well!
Cause you and congress will have a long row to how to change it.

BTW: This NYT press-girlie doesn't like President Bush much does she?

but I see no sane reason to change posse commitatus.

A large conventional military force is totally asymettrical against a few skulking terrorists. It's not like they're going to take a city and hold out or something. This makes no sense. A battalion would only be useful against citizens. Can't anyone figure there might have been a Reason for passing Posse Commitatus in the first place?
