Today I marched in the "Showdown in Texas" demonstration intended to highlight the role the defense industry plays in Texas' politics and the its economy. The highlight for me may have been when the march stopped in front of the local Fox Television office, and we chanted "Lies! Lies!" Creepily, there were men in fatigues watching the march atop some of the high-rise buildings along Congress avenue. I wondered aloud if we had a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act in our midst. Due to another commitment, I was unfortunately unable to participate in the "Caravan to Crawford," taking demonstrators to a protest outside Bush' ranch. Apparently at least four protestors were arrested at the action there.
could they have been good ol' boys just watching the events? or special ops police, like SWAT? they wear fatigues too.
