Some of the advisers to President [sic] George W. Bush, including Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney, argued that a president had the power to use the military on domestic soil to sweep up the terrorism suspects [the Lackawanna Six], and declare them enemy combatants. The lawyers [John C. Yoo and Robert J. Delahunty], in the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, wrote that the Constitution, the courts and Congress had recognized a president’s authority "to take military actions, domestic as well as foreign, if he determines such actions to be necessary to respond to the terrorist attacks upon the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, and before." The document added that the neither the Posse Comitatus Act nor the Fourth Amendment tied a president’s hands. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/25/us/25detain.html DHS, agencies to go on high alert for first nationwide terror exercise --Exercise will include agencies in Britain, Mexico, Canada and Australia; federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector officials throughout U.S. 24 Jul 2009 Law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the United States and abroad are preparing to go on high alert as part of a massive terrorism prevention exercise -- the first of its kind here.
