Don't think so kat, the military is not law enforcement in any case except military justice, ie mp's, court marshal. -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Salkin [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 10:20 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: CNN Breaking News (fwd) Thanks, Kyle, you made the point I was trying to think of earlier when I said it became a federal enforcement situation when the sniper shot the FBI employee. Isn't that right? When a federal agent is killed, it can legally become a US military action?
