Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano think this is the Tomb of the Unknown Terrorist.

Janet Napolitano finds herself this morning standing in a big pile of something that smells very bad.

Even a leading House Democrat wants to know why the Secretary of Homeland Security chose to issue a report that targets veterans as potential terrorists.

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he was “dumbfounded” by the report.

“This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans — including war veterans,” Mr. Thompson stated in the letter to Napolitano.

“As I am certain you agree, freedom of association and freedom of speech are guaranteed to all Americans — whether a person’s beliefs, whatever their political orientation, are ‘extremist’ or not.”

You know the Department of Homeland Security report is a gross distortion of the truth when someone with Thompson’s solid liberal credentials sees the danger in it.
