In a rare move, both House Democrats and Republicans voted Tuesday for a formal inquiry into the Homeland Security Department’s report describing military veterans as possible recruits for extremists. According to Newsmax.com:

The House Homeland Security Committee unanimously approved a resolution of inquiry that calls for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to turn over all documents used to draft the report “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”

“When this DHS-produced assessment first surfaced in April, like many Americans, I had issues with its content,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson, Mississippi Democrat and committee chairman.

“Certainly its definition of ‘right-wing extremism,’ which did not clarify that extremist violence was the department’s true focus, raised considerable concern,” Mr. Thompson said. “So did the suggestion that returning war veterans posed a potential threat to the homeland.”

Many Americans were upset about the wording of the document which seemed to single out military veterans and conservatives as right wing extremists. It will be interesting to see the results.
