WASHINGTON (AP) -- Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says an Egyptian politician given a visa to visit the United States last month was vetted three times and not deemed a security threat.

Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee Wednesday that Hani Nour Eldin, a self-professed member of a banned Egyptian militant group, was cleared by the State Department before being granted a visa.

Oh, well, if Big Sis says it’s OK, then fine. Just like she assured us that the borders were never more secure.

Yeah, I can only imagine the vetting process.

"Tea Partier? - nope"

"Pro-life activist? No."

"Gun rights activist? Negatory"

"OK, he's clearly not a terrorist, he's OK to come here."

“The committee chairman, Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, says he worries that giving a visa to a member of a State Department-designated “foreign terrorist organization” without telling Congress violated federal law.”

Bet we don’t hear about THAT again.

I suspect, using the same criteria, Bin Laden would not have been considered a threat, because, after all, he used surrogates in suicide attacks, not himself.

Big deal. I consider Janet Napolitano a threat and disbelieve everything that idiot says.

Napolitano says Egyptian politician not a threat, vetted 3 x
Vetted 3x? Just like Obama was vetted, right? And this is supposed to provide a sense of security?

Napolitano saw an add for intelligence pills on the back of a gum wrapper and sent away for them. Now she is qualified to head up Homeland Security under the Obama regime.

Napolitano's response appears to be addressing this short video: Whose Side Is He On?

At the 0:32 second mark, the slide show provides a photo of Hani Nour Eldin and states:

Hani Nour Eldin, a friend of terrorists and enemy to America.

So, why was he a recent honored guest of the US government

with full diplomatic immunity?

It appears - all this sudden attention on the Muslim Brotherhood within our government is hitting a raw nerve.

Napolitano, the critically dimwitted head of Homeland Security cannot grasp the fact that a national enemy doesn’t necessarily have to be carrying a bomb in or on his person to be a dangerous enemy of the United States.

Meanwhile, her brilliantly diligent minions continue to frisk old men and young children at our airports, and feel up old ladies on social security, while forcing cripples to take off their prosthetics for inspection.

Life in the Age of Obama.

One of these days she’s going to hang for all of her treasonous acts.

The Egyptian politician may not be a threat, but DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano IS a national security threat. She needs to be locked away in Gitmo as an enemy combatant.
