<< But civil libertarians and some Administration officials fear that such
military power could slowly expand to threaten the privacy, liberty and
lives of private citizens. Defenders of the plan, including Pentagon
officials, insist that it would do no such thing and that the nation
needed homeland defense to deal with terrorists armed with deadly germs,
chemicals and skills for attacking the nation's key computer networks.
Military officials added that they had no intention of usurping
civilian control.
"Our only appropriate role is in support of civil agencies that have
the primary responsibility for law and order and emergency response,"
John J. Hamre, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, said in an interview.

Are they supposed to say; "Yeah, we want to grab control and will do so as
soon as it is feasible."? Give me a break, the military says it is not
interesting in seizing civil control! It will indeed mean an interference
with our rights and privacy. Any time the military intervenes it means that
people are displaced, lives are lost, and privacy, and freedoms are lost.
