Well ... I guess that's just one more Bush-administration violation
of the Posse Comitatus Act, that prohibited using the military to
conduct civilian law-enforcement functions. At what point should we
begin to consider ourselves a (so to speak) "military police" state? ;-)
Aside from that however -- since when did the Air Force have
expertise beyond what the FBI has and/or could develop, to "fight"
the "war" in cyberspace, as our CIVILIAN federal law-enforcement
agency?! (Note: The military does, however, operate under a much
broader cloak of secrecy!)

Dave- we can all feel more secure now. The Air Force has added to
its mission statement:
"The mission of the United States Air Force is to deliver sovereign
options for the defense of the United States of America and its
global interests--to fly and fight in Air, Space, and Cyberspace."
