Holder announces task force on 'homegrown' terrorists

"Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder, Jr. on Monday announced the creation of a task force within the Justice Department to combat an “escalating danger” from “homegrown” terrorists within the United States.

The Justice Department, in a news release accompanying Holder’s weekly video address, cited a Congressional Research Service report last year that said domestic terrorists were responsible for more than two dozen incidents in the U.S. since 9/11...

...“Now -- as the nature of the threat we face evolves to include the possibility of individual radicalization via the Internet -- it is critical that we return our focus to potential extremists here at home,” Holder said."

The events cited in the article were the Ft Hood shooting (which unless I'm loosing even more gray matter, was labeled a "workplace violence incident" by the MSM) and the Boston Marathon. What were the the other 22 incidents?

Key question: what viewpoint does the AG and others consider terrorism?

Was that fuck Rodger's labeled a terrorist? What about Cliven Bundy?

The phrase/definition of "terrorists" is pretty fucking subjective IMO.

I have a friend who works for a contractor under DHS, I asked him, non-classified, who has a higher risk level: homegrown terrorists, or foreign? He flat out told me "It's a hell of a lot harder to track the foreign nationals who illegally enter the US intent on doing harm than you think... We should be considering this the bigger threat, but somewhere higher up" -IE: Eric Holder and gang (he didn't specify, but we all know) "they decided that 'homegrown' are a bigger threat. Yet we haven't really seen any homegrown 'terrorists' blow up any marathons or hijack any airplanes. :/ "

I sense a huge increase in setups to catch people that would not be a danger without being enabled by the feds. (thinking of the attempted bombing in Seattle where feds gave him a fake detonator)

22 other incidents? As you point out the term is not defined so he is probably including Aurora, Newtown, where was that sikh temple, etc?

Holder needs to go. This sounds more like a targeted hit squad than National Security.

Maybe, and probably so, but time will tell.
