Five minutes later, one of the island's fire chiefs drops by, fresh from a briefing. It's not a rumour. The body bags are here, together with a refrigerated lorry to take away the corpses. "I liked it better when it was a rumour," says Larry.

Could there be a terror warning behind it?

"President Bush would be hosting the 2004 G8 Summit on Sea Island (Sea Island as in cotton, as in slaves)"

I think it's just what they do; this has been known in that area for a few weeks.

"The Feds are taking into consideration that this is south-east Georgia, where a lot of people carry guns," he says, with something like pride. And for local authorities, mindful of violent clashes at previous summits in Genoa and Seattle, it's protesters rather than terrorists who are the real bogeymen.

I love GA

In the spirit of Christian reconciliation, the First Presbyterian Church ran a "Meet the Protesters" evening of food and fellowship with a "fun program" of games such as "What's My Issue?" and "Who Wants to Be An Activist?".

Must be Presbyterian USA, not Presbyterian PCA. I don't claim them.

I just read it - a bunch of "merde" with a very "low" vocabulary - written especially for the DNC, MoveOn.org, ANSWER and the rest of that herd.

Hmmn. Bringing in body bags and setting up detention centers is 'just what they do' in preparation for protesting?

A State of Emergency granting extra powers to local law enforcement was announced by the State Governor on 7 May, and while nowhere has yet been "set aside" for the protesters to protest (a quaint notion in itself), a playing-field over on the mainland has been fenced for use as a detention centre.

The body bags have been shipped in, locals are running scared, and foreigners are being arrested and deported. Organisers of this week's G8 Summit are taking no chances with security. E Jane Dickson reports from a community under siege

Sounds like a leftist's paradise to me.

he he he,

It is the truth too. There are lots of good ole boys around here who wouldn't think twice whoopin' a protestor's a$$.

Been the subject of many a great discussion at the local Swamp Fox.

I guess the body bags are for all the dead turtles washing up on the beach. What a whiny POS article.

Yes, it is; it's called being prepared.

Do you have a problem with that?

Is it possible you don't recognize the magnitude of this meeting and those who might disagree with it?

Well, many of the security are what the Georgia penal system calls their "Goon Squad", which is usually tasked with quelling prison riots.

They are mostly a very rough bunch of rednecks.

And with the small size of the necks of those protesters...Well...mistakes may be made.
