You quote the DHS report as the gospel while totally disregarding any report by WND and insinuating it to be a fabrication. Is it not possible the DHS report is biased and or untrue as well? I look at both with a suspicious mind.

I would have a more open mind.

With regard to the DHS report being treated as "gospel," there is no shortage of people (at World Net Daily and elsewhere) who are telling us what the report contains. When their contentions are proven to be incorrect, it is not the person who points it out who is treating the report as "gospel," but rather the people doing the proselytizing.

WND is written by people with an agenda, who have shown no particular fealty to the facts in any matter in which they have a vested interest.

The DHS is an official department of the United States which is tasked with investigating criminal activity and providing evidence for trials.

So yes, I give more credence to the DHS report than I do to WND. Of course, WND's facts on the rare occasions that they provide a fact are often from the DHS reports. So they believe them when it's convenient.

My real reason for skepticism of WND is that whenever someone posts a WND article I can trivially show how they have twisted the facts and made up conclusions without basis in order to push their agenda. I post these regularly, and while I am vilified for that with name-calling and the like, nobody has refuted my objections to the articles.
