I guess that's just one more Bush-administration violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, that prohibited using the military to conduct civilian law-enforcement functions. At what point should we begin to consider ourselves a (so to speak) "military police" state? ;-)
Aside from that however -- since when did the Air Force have expertise beyond what the FBI has and/or could develop, to "fight" the "war" in cyberspace, as our CIVILIAN federal law-enforcement agency?! (Note: The military does, however, operate under a much broader cloak of secrecy!)
