Feds Train Clergy To "Quell Dissent" During Martial Law

This is an interesting perspective on FEMA's involvement with clergy and church groups. I had heard from a pastor in Utica, NY how FEMA had recognized the wider church's ability to respond to a crisis (i.e. Hurricane Katrina) compared to it's own departmental failings. They apparently wanted to create informal networks in the event a large scale national crisis so to more easily get help to those who need it. When I was told this, it was supposed to be top secret. This article suggests FEMA wants to use the churches and clergy to extend it's own power and for purposes other than aide.
