I would certainly hope that much if not all of the military would be on our side, unfortunately, I am always afraid of the power of media/image that is used all over, especially in how we describe our enemies overseas. The word terrorist can make someone angry and if that label is to be applied to us, there would certainly be an issue regarding those who are "defending the constitution" however under the belief that the people they crush are terrorists/insurgents/rebels, etc...

Don't forget, Nancy Pelosi (sp) - Speaker of the House, wants to have control of radio/tv media to limit what can be broadcast. (in the news this last week) You can bet that her "people" will decide what is broadcast if she has her way.
