Holder: Homegrown Terror Threat Increasing

Holder: Homegrown Terror Threat Increasing

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=8202511&page=1

".....He noted, however, that the Bush administration "left us an infrastructure that I think is very good," and that national security officials are constantly striving to put the country in a safer position.

"The American people would be surprised by the depth of the threat, but also reassured to see the assets that have been deployed around the world," Holder said, adding that the United States interacts closely with its foreign partners. ......"

As an aside Mr Holder. It appears I've been "asked" to open my trunk more times than you - and I'm white.

Apparently Secretary Nepolitano has had a reality check as she now knows how to use the word "terrorism" in her speeches as well.

This has to be a first. I had to put on the old readers to be sure I read that correctly.

Yes, the Bush administration left a good counter-terror infrastructure…but he might just prosecute them for it, all the same.

"....Critical Decisions on Guantanamo, Investigation Into Bush Administration Top Holder's To-Do List
....The investigation into the Bush administration's policy on the detention and interrogation of suspected terrorists, Holder said is still a real possibility -- regardless of the political fallout...."

Now, we wonder, what kind of restrictive commie program is he going to drag out using this as a convenient handle?

Ironic that the .GOV is concerned with 'Homegrown Terror' yet according to this article they don't seem too concerned Richard Reid.
