How would our enemies benefit from from knowing these plans? They are only secret because Americans would object to martial law.
Do you think all government actions are benevolent?
Haru: You ask questions with your answers embedded in them.
This is considered a form of rudeness in our society.
The tone presupposes that you disrespect the intelligence of the person you are addressing.
Now we would'nt want that to happen. Would we Haru-doggie?
I've got mixed feelings about martial law in the event of a single or multiple horrific attacks. It could be the only means of order amid the panic, lawlessness, etc. Imagine your own little world in the midst of this. Imagine the local gangs. Imagine the enemy already within. Your local LE would be waaaay overburdened. That said, NO, I don't like the idea of martial law at all.
Anyway, I thought from the thread title that this was going to be about who we nuked first. :o)
If a dirty Islamo nuke goes off in an American city, martial law would be in force immediately. Raids on Muslim enclaves and mass arrests would also take place. Habeas corpus would not be in effect. Attacks on Muslim terrorist supporting nations would also take place (I hope!)
