Why the DHS Report Was Pushed Out So Fast
Just a friendly reminder to various friends who are asking why the DHS report on 'right-wing extremists' went out when it did despite objections to its wording by civil rights lawyers within the DHS.
Um, because, as I've said before: there was a briefing deadline. Objections or no, when the Sec of Homeland Security asks to be briefed on the McVeigh types, you have to have that report ready by the meeting deadline.
The timing of it stinks, but don't fall for the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. Just because two events occur in proximity to one another, does not mean that the events are related.
