DEL.ICIO.USLawmakers worried about potential terrorists
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Several state lawmakers want to set up a committee that would study the recruitment of terrorists in Georgia’s prison system.
House Resolution 375 refers to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, saying they “have changed our world and the ways in which we must assess and protect our security.”
The resolution also says there is evidence “indicating that there may be ongoing recruitment of terrorists from within our prison population,” though the resolution does not cite any specifics.
State Rep. Martin Scott (R-Rossville) filed the resolution with four cosponsors. It would create the House Study Committee on Prison System Terrorist Recruitment, a five-member panel that would be appointed by the House speaker.
The committee would potentially recommend legislation and issue a report by Dec. 31.
