What is happening in Georgia? Agencies have been on college campuses.

First, there was that Eric Rudolph bombing years ago at the Olympics in Atlanta. I'm not even counting that as correlated with the other two which are more recent.

Bombs were found on Georgia Tech's campus in October 2005,

and then the ATF is roughing up a ninja costumed college student at the University of Georgia on April 2006.

Is there something about Georgia that we all should know about?

1. Besides the fact that the State has become fascist?
well, I think the KKK / Cristian fundamentalists have successfully infiltrated the State and local government.

3. One of the reasons Stanford protestors didn't get attacked
Edited on Sun Apr-30-06 11:49 AM by caligirl
by secret service during their protest and blocking of the only entry way Bush had to his appt with Shultz in a building on the Stanford campus are the judges in California. They knew our courts would never side with them, the students had the right to do what they did, and the secret service would be laughed out of court if not thrown out here in Ca. I don't think Georgia has that. And I don't know that Georgia's public would take the side of protestors in this.

4. Clearly, you know nothing of Georgia
And, you might consider that judges were appointed to the bench during 134 years of Democratic control in Georgia, prior to 2002.

6. Your probably right, I left georgia in the 7th grade and spent the
next several years in northern Florida. While I have an extensive family history in Georgia, Albany is my families hometown as well as some smaller communities near by and another county named after my family, alas living in California and approaching 50 I know nothing of Georgia anymore. Sadly I no longer can relate to the dozens of aunts and uncles and cousins still living around Albany. 15 years in California and I am brainwashed forever. Thanks for setting me straight.B-)

5. What is happening is a "sudden" realization
by officials that there are a number of muslims in Atlanta. Some might consider Cynthia's congressional district to be heavily populated by people of the muslim faith.

You managed to leave out the most notorious case - the federal arrest of a Georgia Tech student last week. He was charged with "material support" to terrorists.

What's happening is that the bigotry of DC is moving south.

8. Do you have a link?
Okay, I'm officially concerned. I don't think they would successfully prosecute the guy without some evidence.

Tech student and another man plotted terrorist attacks, affidavit says

By BILL TORPY
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/21/06

A 21-year-old Georgia Tech student and a 19-year-old Roswell man traveled together to Canada last year to meet with "like-minded Islamic extremists" and plot locations for possible terror attacks, according to a federal arrest warrant released today.

The affidavit for the arrest of Ehsanul Islam Sadequee accuses him of making false statements to law enforcement officers and details the alleged trip to Canada with Syed Haris Ahmed, a Tech student who has been charged with giving "material support" to a terrorist organization.

Ahmed, a Pakistani native who is a U.S. citizen, has been held in federal custody since March 23. His family lives in Dawsonville. Sadequee, who was born in Fairfax, Virginia, and is a U.S. citizen, was arrested this week in Bangladesh, where his family said he had gone to get married.

The federal affidavit, filed in U.S District Court for the Eastern District of New York, states that Sadequee lied to federal agents in August when he was questioned at Kennedy International Airport. Authorities say that Sadequee told them he traveled to Canada alone and stayed with an aunt there.

However, Ahmed, who had been under federal surveillance since March 2005, told authorities that he traveled with Sadequee to Canada and stayed with another unnamed co-conspirator, court papers said.
