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warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the U.S. was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers.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

B!tch should stand down or be removed from her position. It happened on her watch. PERIOD.

"An employee sent it out without authorization."

Libs never, ever accept responsibility for their own actions.

This reads to me like she will be Obama’s Supreme Court Justice nominee.

“An employee sent it out without authorization.”

*******

I thought originally Napoliatano had defended the report, now she’s blaming it on improper vetting?????

"An employee sent it out without authorization."

So the issue wasn't with what it said, it's that we the people got to see what you think of us. Got it.

[conservativegramma]

Yep, blame the employee. Never mention it took an entire MONTH to decide to pull it, after first Napolitano affirming it would ‘stand was written’. Something strange going on IMO.

Over and above the fact that the pee is already in the swimming pool. At least now we know who respects the Constitution, and who is a slave to the Regime.

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

She went on the talk shows to defend the validity and importance of the report!

I almost miss Reno.

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

Then why did she defend it when it was released?

Lying sack of shit.

“The report is no longer out there,” she said. “An employee sent it out without authorization.”... Said the cowardly, deviant pshycopathic Bi_ch!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Another congenital liar!

The damage has been done, no way to recall that!

[joethedrummer]

To late Janet... It’s already ‘out there’...

You can pull it, but you can’t take it back.

We KNOW what you think.

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

I believe the correct technical response here would be: “Liar liar. Pants on fire.”

Has the Potomac been tainted with drugs or something?

[Juan Medén]

No apologies to tax, protesters, pro-lifers and conservatives in general, however. We are still extremists.

[NormsRevenge]

Stuck on Stupid Napolitano I thought I'd never say it and I won't.. but I want an investigation! (almost said I want Chertoff but.. almost )

Either incompetent or evil. Or put both in a blender and you get nepalitanonsense.
