Napolitano Issues Blunt Comments on Domestic Terror Threat

Speaking before the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference in Florida today Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano provided a more stark assessment of the domestic threat to the United States and the emergence of homegrown terrorism domestically.

Although Napolitano has been discussing the issue of homegrown terrorism more frequently over the past several months her remarks today were blunt: “We’re operating under the premise that individuals prepared to carry out terrorist acts are in the country, and may carry out these acts of violence with little or no warning,” Napolitano said before the police group.

One month ago Napolitano had painted a similar picture before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee when she testified about the rise in homegrown terrorism threats. At the September 22, hearing Napolitano said, “A new and changing facet of the terrorist threat comes from home-grown terrorists. And by which I mean, U.S. persons who are radicalized here and receive terrorist training either here or elsewhere, and bring knowledge of the United States and the West to terrorist organizations. A clear trend in recent attacks has been the role of English language and online propaganda from operatives like al-Awlaki, a United States citizen, based in Yemen.”

In her speech today before the police group the DHS Secretary again stated the concern of individuals that may be radicalized and recruited to support terrorist activities or undertake attacks here in the US, but cited the concern that many of these individuals may not be known to the US Intelligence Community or law enforcement, “More and more, we’re seeing the increased role of Westerners, including U.S. citizens, engaged in terrorist training, planning, and attempted attacks …and many of these individuals are unknown to the Intelligence Community and unknown to Federal authorities. And that means traditional Intelligence Community efforts and travel analysis may not be enough to identify domestically-inspired terrorist planning and attacks.”

Napolitano cited a recent push to involve the public and raise awareness among the public to be on the lookout for suspicious activity with the, “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign to have people notify law enforcement if they view something that seems suspicious. In an effort to try and get more information to state and local police officers Napolitano also said that DHS would be expanding the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting system to push new information about trends and items of interest to law enforcement agencies across the country.

As in "White Supremicist Bombing" as opposed to "Muslim Terrorist" bombing. What a dumb@ss.

They haven't caught on to what is happening yet. I hope they will continue groping in the dark for another 2 years.

Pull an inside job?

The ramifications for this nation would be nothing short of catastrophic.

But they won't have to. The next terror operation that succeeds will originate within the Continental USA, but the protagonists are most likely to have been smuggled through our porous borders, something the FBI is serious concerned about. Even then, the fall-out is likely to come back on the incumbent administration, whoever that might be, because securing the border now will not be a defence against whoever has already made their way into this country.

Pull an inside job?

Doubt it, although there are still a few on the professional left, that insist that the September 9th attack could only have been an inside job.

Napolitano is looking for another American Taliban, although I am sure she would be just as satisfied with a white supremest teabagging fundamental bigamist.
