Bush Extends National State of Emergency - Military in Streets of DC
Edited on Thu Sep-22-05 01:34 PM by leveymg

Don't want to be alarmist about this, but these two simultaneous items together are really jarring.

* First, without any discussion or warning, Bush announced yesterday that he has extended the terrorism-related state of National Emergency he declared after 9/11.

* Second, a Washington Post columnist tells us that today is the kickoff of a massive Pentagon exercise simulating the declaration of a martial law in Washington, DC and that military special forces and intelligence officers have, in fact, been deployed in force in the streets of the capitol.

Of course, this comes on the eve of the largest anti-war demonstration in DC in 35 years.
