Terrible news from Ludowici, Ga, near Ft. Stewart:

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

[…]

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.

The story is scant on details. I imagine more is forthcoming. President Obama spoke at Fort Stewart in April, but there’s no indication in the story that the plot was related to that visit.
