The Sum Of All Fears : G-8 Savannah, Georgia
Headline yesterday from the Savannah Morning News:
ASHCROFT: G-8 SUMMIT MAY BE A TARGET
Yesterday it was announced by Attorney General John Ascroft that "credible intelligence from multiple sources" indicates that al-Qaida is determined to launch an attack in the United States sometime in the next few months. One target specifically mentioned was the G-8 Summit here in Savannah Georgia.
The city of Savannah - as the locals here will tell you, has a long history of being kind to strangers. General Sherman discovered this for himself during the Civil War when fresh from burning and sacking Atlanta his troops marched into Savannah with little resistence. Southern gentility and friendly townsfolks are the norm and not the exception here. But in recent months that sturdy southern reputation has been severely taxed as Savannahians await 8 world leaders and their delegates, 70 thousand angry rock throwing anarchist protestors, twice that number of riot equipped cops armed with tear gas and rubber bullets, and a major security apparatis that will transform Savannah overnight into an unimaginable Orwellian police state. If that wasn't enough to ruffle feathers and rattle nerves among the terrified locals here, there's Aafia Siddiqui to consider:
Aafia is a Pakistani woman who studied at MIT and received a biology degree at Brandeis University. She is sought, along with 6 others al-Qaida members, as possible suspects behind the warning issued by Ascroft yesterday.
She went to MIT.
She has a degree in Biology.
She may be in Savannah.....
U-Haul is doing a hellva brisk business after the news was announced.
The sum of all fears.
biological attack.
suitcase nukes.
suicide terrorists
8 dead world leaders......
Folks are quietly wondering how far they should leave Savannah to remove themselves from any nuclear blast zone. Or whether the winds might shift over Sea Island and rain some biological hell over their homes.
The Government and it's propaganda arm, the media, seem intent in scaring away as many innocent, local people as possible from the area. Apparently so that when the G-8 Summit does arrive here there will only be protestors and riot cops present.........
