Case uncovers terror plot by soldiers to kill Obama

LUDOWICI, Georgia (AP) — Prosecutors say a murder case against four soldiers has revealed they formed an anarchist militia within the U.S. military with plans to overthrow the federal government.

One of the accused troops, Pfc. Michael Burnett, pleaded guilty Monday to manslaughter and gang charges in the December slayings of former soldier Michael Roark and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Tiffany York.

Burnett told a judge that Roark, who had just left the Army, knew of the militia group's plans and was killed because he was "a loose end."

Prosecutor Isabel Pauley says the group bought $87,000 worth of guns and bomb-making materials and plotted to take over Fort Stewart, bomb targets in nearby Savannah and Washington state, as well as assassinate the president.

Burnett testified that on the night of Dec. 4, he and the three other soldiers lured Roark and York to some woods a short distance from the Army post under the guise that they were going target shooting. He said Peden shot Roark's girlfriend in the head while she was trying to get out of her car. Salmon, he said, made Roark get on his knees and shot him twice in the head. Burnett said Aguigui ordered the killings.

"A loose end is the way Isaac put it," Burnett said.

I'm glad the soldiers are beginning to see the light.

Regardless of political persuasion, the notion of presidential assassination and military coup d'etat seems hyperbolic and misplaced for a democratic nation, notwithstanding the precedents of Lincoln's and JFK's assassinations, and the 2000 presidential elections coup.

It is a pity that some Americans are still fighting the civil war.

They will do anything to get the color out of the white house.
