US Air Force to Test Hi-Tech Weapons on Americans?

GayBliss writes to tell us CNN.com has an article about how the US Air Force secretary proposes testing new 'non-lethal' weapons on American citizens before deploying them to the battlefield. New weapons like a high-power microwave device are designed to incapacitate people or sometimes even electronic devices. From the article: "The object is basically public relations. Domestic use would make it easier to avoid questions from others about possible safety considerations, said Secretary Michael Wynne."

But I think we know that will not happen. Instead wait for the interesting footage from the next 'free speech zone' at the next republican national congress.

Why isn't Bush in a Prison Cell for FISA Viols?

We DO hold accused criminals accountable, don't we?

Aw, shit.
