The government used Alabama National Guard and hardware during the siege at Waco. Is that legal? I'm not the one to take everything the government says as gospel. Take a look around at some of the bizzare things being proposed re: Patriot Act and TIPS.

Use of the National Guard for law enforcement is not illegal under Posse Commitatus, only use of federal troops except in time of emergency or war. Government legally used regular army troops to help put down the LA riots ten years ago.
