Napolitano caves to the right-wing; report on extremism pulled
Reported by the Washington Times:

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warned of military veterans as possible recruits for terrorist attacks against the U.S. was not authorized, has been withdrawn and is being rewritten, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Capitol Hill lawmakers.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

I am having doubts as to who really is calling the shots here.

1. Right-wing vets, that would mean probably white guys.
Can't be accusing right-wing white guys of being terrorists. Oh No. Only brown people or left-wingers can be terrorists. Gotta go after those Peace Activists or Vegans or something. :eyes:

2. 44 is morphing into 43. Been going on awhile.
Happy karma, bait and switch.

3. "Napolitano caved" is true only if this was her decision.
