Those Black Hawk Helicopters Just Might be Coming

Did you know that in October 2001, the Dept. of Justice produced a memo for the Bush administration (for Gonzalez) with the subject line, "Authority for Use of Military Force to Combat Terrorist Activities within the United States?"

Given that the memo was written by John Yoo, the same attorney that determined that Bush had the authority to unilaterally approve spying on American citizens without warrants, I suspect the memo said Bush could deploy the military here at home anytime he wanted, as long as he had a credible "fighting the terrorists" reason.
