Bush contemplated deploying troops on US soil to make terror arrests

[moe.ron]

The proposal, which would have risked falling foul of the US constitution if enforced, called on the president to deploy troops to make arrests on American soil for the first time since the Civil War.

The move was backed by Dick Cheney, the former vice president, who wanted the military to apprehend the men, who were suspected of plotting with al Qaeda, so that they could be declared enemy combatants.
