Napolitano Pulls Right-Wing Extremism Report
The Washington Times ^ | May 14, 2009 | Audrey Hudson

Posted on 05/14/2009 10:31:48 AM PDT by conservativegramma

A contentious "Rightwing Extremism" report that warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the U.S. was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers.

"The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed," Ms. Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.

"The report is no longer out there," she said. "An employee sent it out without authorization."

The report was shared with state and local law enforcement officials nationwide via the department's internal Web site on April 7, angering Republican lawmakers and military veterans who said it unfairly stereotyped veterans.

Ms. Napolitano did not say when the report was taken off the "intel Web site" and all Homeland Security Department Web sites, but she said it is in the process of being "replaced or redone in a much more useful and much more precise fashion."

It accomplished what it was intended to do. The information is out and is in their minds.

I wonder what poor low level slap is going to have to fall on the sword for Napolitano.

Probably some Booz-Allen employee working as a SETA contractor. (Contractor scum make good fall guys)

Well...You know you could just lie...They’d not know the difference...

If you kick them they’d probably get the idea that you are not onboard with the program...

;-)

I admit it...I am going to lie...And always with the fact that I have this “ace” in the hole that they will not know till it is too late...

“We are on the lookout for criminal and terrorist activity but we do not – nor will we ever – monitor ideology or political beliefs. We take seriously our responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of the American people, including subjecting our activities to rigorous oversight from numerous internal and external sources.”

Bovine Excrement!!!

Without authorization? Didn’t SHE get out there and talk about it positively, or am I thinking of something else?

She went on the talk shows to defend the validity and importance of the report! Good then it wasn't my imagination!

wow just a few months into the administration and they're already admitting they don't know what the heck their people are doing (never mind that she's lying through her teeth).

Obama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Was there a real conservative who did not foresee the nightmare scenario of DHS?
