Hey Karina - what is your source?  I've been listening to NPR all a.m. and got the impression it was a possibiility, but that it hadn't actually occurred (abt. martial law).  I think the Pres. would have to declare martial law, and I don't think he has...


i did a search on yahoo news this morning because one of my friends told me martial law was declared.. i found it here.. http://somagcc.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2005/8/30/1183179.html

i just read something that had a quote from the governor saying that it was erroneously reported that martial law had been declared--it's actually against their state constitution.  i'll try to find the link, but i've really only been reading CNN all day, so i trust their info.  she was saying that they had called in national guard and other troops to support their police forces and they were authorized to use necessary force. 


**halleybird: sorry--that wasn't even the question you asked!  and now i can't find the story i was talking about.
