The Washington Times<\/a> confronted DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano on her department’s report IDing veterans as dangerous extremists with terrorist potential; <\/p>\n

“The wheels came off the wagon because the vetting process was not followed,” Ms. Napolitano told the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“The report is no longer out there,” she said. “An employee sent it out without authorization.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There ya go – it’s not her fault. Someone sabotaged her. The American Legion national commander weighs in;<\/p>\n

David K. Rehbein, commander of the American Legion, said the withdrawal of the report “validates our objections.”<\/p>\n

“It did not contain any evidence,” Mr. Rehbein said. “It was an unfair and unsubstantiated stereotype based on Timothy McVeigh.”<\/p>\n

The report also said “rightwing extremism” may include groups opposed to abortion and immigration, among several other threat assessments. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some have called it a strictly partisan attack on the Obama Administration, but that’s not exactly true;<\/p>\n

Rep. Christopher Carney, Pennsylvania Democrat, said that as a veteran he “took offense personally,” and his constituents were offended by the report as well.<\/p>\n

“It really hit home hard to me and in our district,” Mr. Carney said. “It’s not a good start when I go to town hall meetings and I hear people calling for your resignation.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course some low-level GS employee is going to take the heat;<\/p>\n

Asked whether the person who wrote the report is still employed, Ms. Napolitano said, “Appropriate personnel action is being taken.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Is there room under that bus for every general schedule federal employee in DC?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
