WASHINGTON (AP) - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists who are U.S. citizens or live in the country legally and plot against the U.S. are just as big of a concern as international terrorists.

She says that when she started as secretary a year ago, the focus was largely on international terrorists who want to harm U.S. interests. But in the past year, more of the violent extremism that has been seen overseas is showing up in the U.S.

She says officials need to drill down and analyze the factors that make a young person, raised in the U.S., migrate to extremist beliefs and actions.

Since my post of this will be axed, here's what I asked:

I've got a bad feeling about this... When I read this short news item a tingle went down my spine, and not in a good way. The first thing that went through my mind was this could lead to infringements of freedom of speech, rallies, etc. Am I putting on my tin foil hat prematurely, or does anyone else feel suspicious of this?

Liberals always look to our government as the source of islamic terrorism but never do the same when it comes to domestic terrorism.

They don’t care if terrorists destroy America as long as citizens don’t throw this administration out....

"Is she stupid or just evil?"

A little of both. Maybe a little more on the stupid side.
