Is Military Creeping Into Domestic Law Enforcement?
(From THE WALL STREET JOURNAL)
By Robert Block and Gary Fields
IN A LITTLE-NOTICED side effect of the war on terrorism, the military is edging toward a sensitive area that has been off-limits to it historically: domestic intelligence gathering and law enforcement.

Several recent incidents involving the military have raised concern among student and civil-rights groups. One was a visit last month by an Army intelligence agent to an official at the University of Texas law school in Austin. The agent demanded a videotape of a recent academic conference at the school so that he could identify what he described as "three Middle Eastern men" who had made "suspicious" remarks to Army lawyers at the seminar, according to the official, Susana Aleman, the dean of student affairs.

What scares me the most is that the majority of the sheeple are
accepting this. Ummm...look at what Soviet Russia was like...
Or North Korea...

People just don't get it, do they? :eyes:

and check out "Joint Task Force 6".

This was/is a military force that was created to
protect our border with Mexico.

I can't say I disagree with the use of the military for that. The INS has been doing such a bang-up job for years that we CLEARLY don't have a problem with illegal immigrants. :eyes:

I think anyone who hasn't seen it in person can't comprehend how much territory would have to be policed in order to effectively shut it down.

creeping ain't the word for it
