Bennie Thompson on Extremism Report

Democrats joined Republicans on a key House panel Tuesday in voting for a formal inquiry into the development and distribution of a contentious Homeland Security Department report that described military veterans as possible recruits for extremists. Bennie Thompson:
"When this DHS-produced assessment first surfaced in April, like many Americans, I had issues with its content. Certainly its definition of 'right-wing extremism,' which did not clarify that extremist violence was the department's true focus, raised considerable concern. So did the suggestion that returning war veterans posed a potential threat to the homeland. I am interested in getting all of the facts that went into this report. I would expect the department to provide without prejudice whatever information is available."
