Remember when the newly inaugurated Obama administration was roundly attacked by the Right because the Department of Homeland Security released this report pointing out that there was a potential threat of domestic terrorism involving former military personal? Obama was attacked for being anti-military and not honoring or respecting our troops. The fact that the report had actually been formulated and written while George W. Bush was in office and was delayed until it was released in March, 2009, was completely lost on the Right-wing media as well as most Republican hacks since it played into their already prejudiced view that Obama was a foreign-born, anti-American Muslim who had no legal right to sit in the Oval Office. To them, this was exactly the sort of thing that would expect that he would try and lie to the American public about. Well how many shootings and incidents have we had in the this country involving ex-military personnel over the last 3 1/2 years? I don't hear anyone apologizing, saying that perhaps the report had merit after all.

Prosecutor: Ga. murder case uncovers terror plot

By RUSS BYNUM Associated Press The Associated Press

LUDOWICI, Ga. (AP) — Four Army soldiers based in southeast Georgia killed a former comrade and his girlfriend to protect an anarchist militia group they formed that stockpiled assault weapons and plotted a range of anti-government attacks, prosecutors told a judge Monday.

Prosecutors in rural Long County, near the sprawling Army post Fort Stewart, said the militia group composed of active duty and former U.S. military members spent at least $87,000 buying guns and bomb components and was serious enough to kill two people — former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend, Tiffany York — by shooting them in the woods last December in order to keep its plans secret.

"This domestic terrorist organization did not simply plan and talk," prosecutor Isabel Pauley told a Superior Court judge. "Prior to the murders in this case, the group took action. Evidence shows the group possessed the knowledge, means and motive to carry out their plans."

One of the Fort Stewart soldiers charged in the case, Army Pfc. Michael Burnett, also gave testimony that backed up many of the assertions made by prosecutors. The 26-year-old soldier pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter, illegal gang activity and other charges. He made a deal to cooperate with prosecutors in their case against the three other soldiers.

Prosecutors said the group called itself F.E.A.R., short for Forever Enduring Always Ready. Pauley said authorities don't know how many members the militia had.
