An excerpt from the item above (I'm sure most of you will remember the outrage from the Right when this report was released a few weeks after Obama took office, of course he was blamed by the Right despite the fact that the report had been in the works for many months under the Bush administration):
In 2009, the former analyst wrote a report that warned of a growing antigovernment movement and the possible recruitment of returning military veterans that could “lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone-wolf extremists.”
His words drew fierce criticism from Republican lawmakers and conservative news media, labeling the report an unfair assessment of legitimate criticisms of the government. The document was retracted after Janet Napolitano, who was then the Homeland Security secretary, apologized to veterans, and the Extremism and Radicalization Branch was quietly dismantled.
