DHS right-wing report issued despite concerns

By EILEEN SULLIVAN – 18 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Homeland Security official says the department’s office of civil rights and civil liberties objected to some of the language in the now-contentious right-wing extremism report, but the agency issued it anyway.

An intelligence assessment issued to law enforcement last week said some military veterans could be susceptible to extremist recruiters or commit lone acts of violence. This prompted angry responses from some lawmakers and veterans’ groups.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Amy Kudwa said the report was issued before officials resolved problems raised by the agency’s civil rights division. She said this was a breakdown of the agency’s internal process.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has defended the report.

Napolitano most probably personally wrote the nine page vacuous Diatribe while sitting on a toilet!
