I think you missed the source of the question. Like Mr. May, I saw (on TV) Schwarzkoff being guarded by people that were dressed in civilian attire, and carrying AR15/M16's. I think this was most evident during the 60 Minutes interview. So, to repeat the question, were these people civilians? If not, why were they wearing civilian clothes? And if they were the people you mentioned, why weren't they carrying Uzi's as you stated?
