Hatred at Home

<div> <p>One day in 2002 three friends-a Somali immigrant a Pakistan-born U.S. citizen and a hometown African American-met in a Columbus Ohio coffee shop and vented over civilian casualties in the war in Afghanistan. Their conversation triggered an investigation that would become one of the most unusual and far-reaching government probes into terrorism since the 9/11 attacks.</p> <p>Over several years prosecutors charged each man with unrelated terrorist activities in cases that embodied the Bush administration's approach to fighting terrorism at home.</p> <p>Government lawyers spoke of catastrophes averted; defense attorneys countered that none of the three had done anything but talk. The stories of these homegrown terrorists illustrate the paradox the government faces after September 11: how to fairly wage a war against alleged enemies living in our midst.</p> <p><i>Hatred at Home</i> is a true crime drama that will spark debate from all political corners about safety civil liberties free speech and the government's war at home.</p> </div>
