Earlier you said something about one of the PDF’s possibly being ‘doctored’.
Makes me wonder how many flavors are available.
A sentence here, a tense change there, pretty soon you’ve altered the thing.

Has the document been verified?
Square one.

CBS has picked it up.

Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban, meanwhile, told the paper that the report is part of a series designed to “facilitate a greater understanding of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the U.S.”

So spokesperson doesn’t deny it.
Think Progress also points out that the Department of Energy released a report in 2001 entitled “Left-Wing Extremism: The Current Threat.”

So is there a series of reports on a variety of domestic threats. This would imply there is.

From the Think Progress piece.

And a 2001 report from the Energy Department examined “Left-Wing Extremism: The Current Threat.”
