““To the extent veterans read it as an accusation,” Napolitano told FOX News, “an apology is owed.”

They didn’t READ IT WRONG YOU NINNY, you SAID IT.

Fully argee autumnraine.

Napo’s use of the phrase, “’To the extent’ veterans read it as an accusation, an apology is owed.” - is well known, canned, lawyer-speak, and intended to provide ONLY a limited, curt and ‘conditional’ response. In my view, it’s NOT an apology at all. It also implies that Vets misread the information.

MANY STATEMENTS in this partisan report are reported or implied as “fact”, but (as has been discussed), NO supporting data was provided, whatsoever. It’s all partisan hype.

- Napo and Obama will use the DHS as a POLITICAL PROPAGANDA MACHINE. This is the ONLY “FACT” contained in the report.

It is an old attorneys device to defame and demonize their opposition with swipping (unsupported) accusations, misstatements and overt falsehoods, and in doing so, they seek to appeal to the “emotions” of their judge or jury. Such statements are NOT considered facts at all. It’s pure rhetoric and designed to inflame and manipulate.

Napo should APOLOGIZE AND RETRACT ALL THE outrageous false statements contained in this partisan attack piece, or resign.
