Maybe so, but I have yet to catch this administration in a lie. Just because you don't like what they're saying doesn't mean it isn't true. On the other hand, our notorious liar in chief of former years could say something that wasn't true and make you like it.

don't think that's what they're questioning. Bearshark is questioning whether there was actually a request from the locals for assistance. When an Administration lies repeatedly, as this one has, people begin to question every statement, every position.

Why do you people jabber without checking. Montgomery County officials made the request. They are leading the task force:

The request for military assistance came from Montgomery County and the FBI, a Pentagon official said. Officers on the staff of Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, contacted the military services Monday night and asked, "What do you have available that would be of assistance?" a senior officer said. Rumsfeld was briefed on the options yesterday.

No, actually the post was well placed. Rather than taking several posts to attitudinize, why didn't someone check? I assume that all know how to use a search engine. The Washington Post is not hard to find. Then type in "posse commitatus" in the internal search engine. By the time you are using it to make some point about lying, one could have verified who made the request.......
