Top Dem 'dumbfounded' by 'extremism' report

"The top House Democrat overseeing the Department of Homeland Security is demanding that officials there explain how and why they wrote and released a controversial report identifying veterans as potential terrorist threats.

"Rep. Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano that he was 'dumbfounded' such a report would be issued.

"'This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans -- including war veterans,' Mr. Thompson said in the letter sent Tuesday."

SOMEBODY IS AWAKE.
