The raising up of a straw man issue like this by the administration is simply a cover for increasing surveillance. If any of these group can be provoked into actions that justify the administrations claims, so much the better from their standpoint. I would imagine it would legitimize further government crackdowns. There might be someone very clever behind all this, or they bumbled onto this strategy by accident in a Inspector Clouseau moment.
“.......If any of these group can be provoked.......”
Any of what groups? The Homeland security report was derived from an afternoon or so of some political hack surfing the web. It’s just a bunch of website huffing and puffing. There is no investigation nor any field op work to back any of it up.
