Sea Smurfs II - Son of a Smurf!

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a column on the looming 1st of October deployment of US troops on US soil for peacekeeping purposes. Look back to that article to see why the acronym for this now active force is CCMRF.

It's pronounced Sea Smurf, which makes them sound cute.

Amy Goodman - award-winning journalist - wrote a pretty alarming piece about the CCMRF brigade on the 2nd of October.

In brief, Goodman is concerned that the CCMRF brigade can be used by the president to stifle dissent against the Treasury's economic recovery plan, in violation of Posse Comitatus.

I really hope I never have to hear about the CCMRF brigade in the mainstream press.
