Governors Receive Threats From Extremist Group



WASHINGTON — Governors across the country said Friday that they
had
received letters from an extremist group warning that that they
might
be
forcibly removed from office if they did not step down within
three
days.

Officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the
Department
of
Homeland Security confirmed that they had sent out an intelligence
note
with information about potential threats made to governors by a
group
calling itself Guardians of the Free Republics.

The note was sent to state law enforcement officials in the last
few
days.

A homeland security official said the federal agencies were not
aware
of
“an immediate or credible threat.”

“No specific information indicates that violence is intended,” the
official said. “These threat assessments are issued regularly out
of
an
abundance of caution.”

State officials said they were taking the threat seriously because
it
came
at a time of increased attention to antigovernment groups.

Nine members of a militant Christian militia group were arrested
in
Michigan last weekend and accused of plotting an uprising against
the
government.

On its Web site, the Guardians of the Free Republics sets forth a
plan
to
“restore America.” It describes the plan as “a bold achievable
strategy
for behind-the-scenes peaceful reconstruction of the de jure
institutions
of government without controversy, violence or civil war.”

Maybe the Homeland Security people should start rounding up all
these
whackos and ship them to Gitmo.






The President closed Gitmo...or maybe he didn't.



Or maybe he's trying. It's a complicated situation. Bush pushed it
for
years
and then said it should be closed. It'll take longer than Obama
originally
thought, but there's every indication it'll get done.




Or maybe he realized it is in the best interest of our country to keep
it
open.


Or, maybe the reality is that it's difficult to do, which is the more
simple
and more obvious reason. But, feel free to believe what you want.



Don't you think he would understand the implications before he made this
his first proclamation over a year ago?


Obviously not. Yet, he's still intent upon closing down the operation. I
call it persistence in the face of hard problems.


As the new POTUS he should have known. He was grandstanding. Were his
advisers too busy digging into less important matters?


Ah, so he's supposed to be all-knowing and all-seeing. I get it. Do you
suppose there ?might? be more pressing matters? Like, say, just as a
strawman, the MELTDOWN of the economy, caused by years of neglect and pimped
by Bush for the previous 7 years? Or, maybe that millions go into
foreclosure due to medical bills? Or, perhaps those two pesky wars, one of
which was totally unjustified?

I'm betting you cut GWB some slack, but not Obama. I wonder why?
