WASHINGTON (AP) - Newly released government papers show homeland security officials improperly gathered intelligence on the Nation of Islam, a black Muslim group.

Internal correspondence shows the 2007 report—titled "Nation of Islam: Uncertain Leadership Succession Poses Risks"—was by an intelligence group working within the Department of Homeland Security.

But it is ok to declare military veterans “right-wing extremists” and they should be monitored.

Yea.

I can see all this quite clearly now.

“one official wrote at the time that the group uses extreme rhetoric but had not engaged in or advocated violence and should not have been the subject of intelligence gathering.”

OK.

The report was recalled by DHS officials within hours, after they deemed it improper.

So, big deal.

If our government is NOT bugging and infiltrating this group, they are suicidal fools.

You don’t suppose they are gathering intelligence on the tea party movement supporters, do you? Now there is a real dangerous group. /s

DHS violated Farrakhan’s rules of intelligence gathering on anti-American racist black con artists. This much is clear.

Extreme Rhetoric, is called a credible threat in other contexts. In these case the threats were carried out, against 4 police officers preparing for their days work in a coffee shop accross the road from McChord AFB in Washington state.
