Regular Army Brigade Tapped For "Homeland" Law Enforcement

By Cernig

Over at Salon, Glenn Greenwald is wondering: Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the "Homeland"?

Which is a question you should be asking too, especially if you thought Posse Comitatus still protected U.S. citizens from having the regular military used for domestic law enforcement.

This is a permanent new role for the military. Once the current Brigade, to be known as CCMRF (pronounced "sea-smurf", I kid you not) finishes its tour of duty, another will roll in to take its place.

The thing to remember about police states, Cernig, is that, at first anyway, they really don't care if you leave the country. It's one less person for them to worry about Just have an emmigration plan B ready.
