“Today, somewhere in the DC metropolitan area, the military is conducting a… Top Secret and compartmented [exercise of] the militarys extra-legal [response to] weapons of mass destruction,” writes William Arkin, on his extremely awesome new blog, Early Warning. “It allows for emergency military operations in the United States without civilian supervision or control.“
A spokesman at the Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region (JFHQ-NCR) confirmed the existence of Granite Shadow to me yesterday, but all he would say is that Granite Shadow is the unclassified name for a classified plan.
That classified plan, I believe, after extensive research and after making a couple of assumptions, is CONPLAN 0400, formally titled Counter-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. [It’s] a long-standing contingency plan of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) that… lays out national policy and priorities for dealing with WMD threats in peacetime and crisis — from far away offensive strikes and special operations against foreign WMD infrastructure and capabilities, to missile defenses and “consequence management” at home if offensive efforts fail…
U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), the military’s new homeland security command, is preparing its draft version of CONPLAN 0400 for military operations in the United States, and the resulting Granite Shadow plan… include[s] deployment of “special mission units” (the so-called Delta Force, SEAL teams, Rangers, and other special units of Joint Special Operations Command) in Washington, DC and other domestic hot spots…
Further, Granite Shadow posits domestic military operations, including intelligence collection and surveillance, unique rules of engagement regarding the use of lethal force, the use of experimental non-lethal weapons, and federal and military control of incident locations that are highly controversial and might border on the illegal.

Those MI5 guys in Iraq are really a big help are’nt they! You know, they came from the same group that shot that guy in the head ten times.
Extra legal really does’nt exist. They’re accountable to Congress and the Intelligence Committee.
Oh ya, what do you guys think about the mobile production(Iraq trucks)of WMD (ya, the viral stuff) and the ability to create it and destroy it in about an hour and 23 minutes?
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!!!!
Here we go, more paranoic BS!!
Extra legal really doesn’t exist. They’re accountable to Congress and the Intelligence Committee.
Intentional or not, that is disinformation.
This is the principal reason for the intelligence reform bill last spring. Rumsfeld gets his own military intelligence ops with no Congressional oversight.
In The Coming Wars, Seymour Hersch quoted an intelligence source in the Pentagon as saying:
Rumsfeld will no longer have to refer anything through the governments intelligence wringer, the former official went on. The intelligence system was designed to put competing agencies in
competition. Whats missing will be the dynamic tension that insures everyones prioritiesin the
C.I.A., the D.O.D., the F.B.I., and even the Department of Homeland Securityare discussed. The
most insidious implication of the new system is that Rumsfeld no longer has to tell people what hes doing so they can ask, Why are you doing this? or What are your priorities? Now he can keep all of the mattress mice out of it.
Pres. Bush sculks off to NORAD’s Cheyenne Mt. today instead of visiting the hurricane zone. Hmm? Spec Ops roaming the streets of America. Creepy!! Coincidence?
