re: #242 Taqiyyotomist

When this report was written, before Obama became president, was the entirety of DHS working for Bush, and only for Bush? Did Obama fire everyone at DHS and hire all new DHS workers? I’m going to guess, NO, on both questions. Many in “Bush’s” CIA was working against Bush, as evidenced by the scam pulled by Wilson and Plame. It is disingenuous to say that, since this report was written way way back when, in the Bush era, that it couldn’t possibly be a smear against the right. We all know that all the various agencies and entities in our government are not always in synch with the current administration, and, in the case of GW Bush, many were working quite perfectly out-of-synch, and purposefully. This is a smear campaign.

Also: Who recruited Mcveigh? Oh, but I can’t talk about that, can I? Lest I be nuts. It probably wasn’t crazy, white-supremecist right-wingers, despite the “accepted wisdom” swallowed whole by nearly one and all.

Did you read the report? It mentions stuff that happened last week. It mentions the recent downturns in the economy, not just stuff in 2008. It also references events and “trends” prior to Obama coming into office as well. Why was this declassified today? What was the motivation? We can all sit here and think, “oh, this is nice, the government is just giving us a warning, how nice of them”. Classified DHS reports become unclassifiedre: #283 Christopher Luebcke

when someone at the DHS decides to make that change. And, something like this had to be known to Secretary Napolitano, she had to approve it. No?

We can agree to disagree, Christopher. I see your point, but I am fairly sure this report was a political maneuver, not a warning to the citizenry.
