Inside the Ring: Memo outlines Obama’s plan to use the military against citizens

By Bill Gertz The Washington Times Wednesday, May 28, 2014

A 2010 Pentagon directive on military support to civilian authorities details what critics say is a troubling policy that envisions the Obama administration’s potential use of military force against Americans.
