Enough said....... and now with Obama maintaining electronic medical records these potential terrorists can be watched closely. So Obama and Co. can enjoy the amazing caribean dancers. I think if Sadam was still alive he and Obama could have been B/F's.

The report, which as Riot said, you can actually read for yourself does not do any such thing.

It points out, which Napolitano has repeated ad nauseum since this report came out, that returning veterans are attractive to rightwing extremists because they possess certain skills and capabilities from their time in the military and are therefore one of the groups of people that the extremist groups will target for recruitment. This is actually not much "news" to anyone, at all. Quite obvious really, so not quite sure why everyone's up in arms...oh wait, it was an opportunity for fake outrage involving the word 'veterans,' so of course you guys can't pass it up.

It also says that there is data to show that some disgruntled vets joined white supremacist groups upon returning from war.

It does not say watch out all veterans are going to kill you and are likely to be terrorists, which is what you, Michelle Malkin, every other wingnut with a grudge would have us believe.

But you'd probably have to read it with an open mind to know that, and I may be asking a lot there. Intellectual honesty is in short supply on the right these days.
