The President was prepared to shoot down passenger aircraft on 9/11. I don't think he will give a rat's ass about the medias 1st Amendment rights if we have a Terrorist Seige on our own soil.
Remember the media (almost) black out during Operation Enduring Freedom?
Donald Rumsfeild telling the reporters stuff like, "You don't need to know that."

If the terrorists are foreigners, why would Posse Comitatus apply? If we were invaded by a foreign army, I do not believe that Possee Comitatus would prevent our troops from resisting that invasion on our own soil. And how would we know the nationality of the terrorists in any event?
AL, do you know whether military CT teams are precluded from responding to domestic terrorist activity?
