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.

Why?

No need to make excuses for your President, D'Plume.
He could easily close Gitmo with the stroke of a pen, but now it
looks like one of his great selling features has turned out to be one
of his weaker misgivings.


Reply: Because he's not an ignoramous like the previous president... your
hero.
