Alex. You just heard the truth from someone who knows. The situation is, all our law enforcement and military agencies are charged with dealing with a multinational guerrilla organization, which does not follow any acceptable rules of engagement and levels of force. No one wants to infringe on civil liberty, but they will at some point need to have defined tools (which may temporarily exceed their present mandates) in order to combat an unconvetional form of warfare. If the American Gov. does not give them the ability to respond it will lead to a no win situation for them. Personally, I hope they get what they need. semper fi
