Since Poccil wanted further elabouration on why I put that "dubious" tag there: Here's one of the best links I found on the first page of Google results, [1]. It indicates that the SISS was involved in investigations, and that one of the more bucolic provisions of the McCarran Act was to authorize the establishment of concentration camps. That's hardly comparable to being able to "kill anyone they wanted from a safe distance with complete freedom." I didn't see anything at all about assassin commandos, which I would expect to be fairly prominently mentioned under the circumstances. Bryan 06:16, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Section moved for unverifiability, and high probability of hoax:

SISS secret commandos, called "sissies" at the time made raids on alleged Communist organizations with silenced machine guns and grenades. Using high caliber rifles and high power scopes the could kill anyone they wanted from a safe distance with complete freedom given to them by the Congress.

Two comments: 1) sissies? big red flag here, American slang for non-macho males. Used by young children against other young children. 2) Google had all of 0 relevant hits.
