Do you recall a few months ago how everyone became very angry that there was a DHS report about domestic terrorism, and in one part they mentioned something about Iraq War vets; I am wondering if anyone anywhere has brought up that report; although it came out earlier this year, evidentally the report was started during Bush's administration.
Do you by any chance happen to know, if within the pages of that report there was ever any mention of first generation American children of Islamic immigrants being a potential terror threat?
I apologize if I have worded this wrongly, but today I've seen lots of postings about there being LOTS of "dr.hassans" in our military, and suddenly I recalled that report which upset so many - and now I wonder if they were warning of something like the Fort Hood Massacre, but had to be so politically correct, that no one noticed what they were trying to say.
Thanks.
