I just woke up from a nap to hear they are asking for Predator drones???

To search for the "non-terrorist" Beltway Shooter!

OK, some "head" on Fox said that since these predator drones were unmanned, that the "posse commitatas"(sp?) rule/law would not be violated.

Here is what I find presently confuddling.

If we were to find ourselves under attack by sniper cells in this country, (and that is a big "IF", please note) does the "posse" law mean that we cannot have our armed services defending the populace?

Or, is it just too upsetting to the body politic, the stock market, and our shopping as usual to have the army or marines out beating through the parking lot landscaping and neighborhood parks to look for guerilla terrorists?

Someone explain under what circumstances we can use our miltitary for the common defense? I am clueless.
