1. Let me explain my YES vote
A chapter of the KKK is in the county north of mine, and they activly send out mass hate mailings. I consider that group a terrorist organization.

16. Same reason I have for my yes vote. After all, Timothy McVeigh
was home grown.

7. A Rep candidate for Atty General in my state of WI
said that there are terrorists living in WI and that the incumbent AG hasn't done enough about it. I've lived here for 6 years and never heard or seen evidence of "terrorists" or hate groups. I suppose its not impossible, but I really doubt that its true.

10. Of course. They recently caught two being smuggled across
the US/Mexico border in San Diego a few months ago. I wonder how many are smuggled in and are never caught.

Edited on Sun Apr-30-06 08:54 PM by undeterred
the al Qaeda cells that are supposedly everywhere. Apparently most of us are more focused on the terrorists we have in elected government!

21. As far as al Qaeda cells, I suppose there is a possibility of that
also. Recently a student at the U of A was charged with aiding a Palestinian terror group so I guess anything is possible.

Unfortunately, the good Reverend hasn't had a full proctological exam in many years- it seems access to that region is impeded by a large, round blockage known as "his head".

19. A white, right wing, Christian man w/short hair blew up the Okla. Fed Bldg
Now I know I shouldn't generalize or engage in profiling; but I can't help being a little suspicious of those types, just the same.

we have skinheads,racists, nutty religiously violent fundamentalist terrorists, nationalists of every stripe and colour, nazis, neo and otherwise, right wing whacked out weirdos, anarchists, where do I stop? BTW, I live in northern California, trust me, there are far more terrorists who American born and bred and you have to go a long way down the line before you get anywhere near the end of the line and the middleastern derived terrorists and Islamists.

My God, the bohemian grove is less than 130 miles west north west of me. You do the math.

33. What brand?
A bunch of no-wit militia type terrorists had a plot to pump a poisonous gas through the air ducts into a theater production at a University in the state. The leaders of the group planned to be far away at the time to prove innocence. Of course they were also stupid an inept - inept in that the plot was so outrageous that 'friends' leaked it to authorities... and stupid b/c they were planning to attack the wrong university (it was planned to attack a specific theater production that was being staged at a different U than the one they were planning to attack.)

So yes. There are terrorists among us in Indiana. The home-grown type.

There are also major Us with international populations and a few years ago there was a local investigation into a former student/resident who was reported to have terrorist ties (back to Lebanon) so that is possible as well - though there has been no indication - as opposed to the militia actions and some small Klan off-shoot upstate that reportedly held a reporter at gun point a few years ago. So there could be foreign terrorists - and there are without question some hate-group/militia type terrorists here. Not sure how to answer the poll (given that it isn't clear which "brand" of terrorists are being asked about), so I didn't.

Scary that you can't tell the terrorists from the general public, isn't it? Seems like we forgot that lesson after 9/11.

37. Yes, definitely. Like the minutemen, and the likes of
Timothy McVeigh, and possibly some foreign too.

They did take flying (not take off or landing) lessons in this state.
