Congressional Quarterly Homeland Security
April 20, 2009 Monday
BEHIND THE LINES: Our Take on the Other Media's Homeland Security Coverage
BYLINE: By David C. Morrison, Special to Congressional Quarterly
LENGTH: 1803 words
For all the furor excited by a DHS threat assessment positing disgruntled vets as potential right-wing extremist recruits, an FBI report last summer spotlighted that very same nexus, The New York Times' Charles Blow essays -- which report went largely unremarked at the time, Politico's JenDimascio points out, and see The Wall Street Journal's Cam Simpson and Gary Fields on the bureau's ongoing probe into veteran involvement in "militia/sovereign-citizen extremist groups." Ripping President Obama

over the report, critics ignore that it was initiated during the Bush administration, as was a recently issued assessment of left-wing extremism, Media Matters' Jamison Foser maintains.
Feds: In Oklahoma City yesterday, not irrelevantly, DHS's deputy director said the nation's most deadly domestic terrorist attack 14 years ago is "a reminder to the country that we can't be complacent," The Associated Press' Tim Talley tells. The newly energized ATF-CBP crusade to stem the flow of arms to Mexico focuses on Arizona and Texas, where "the abiding appreciation [of] the Second Amendment runs especially deep," The Washington Post's Karl Vick points out -- as News Blaze's Merle David Kellerhals Jr. has Obama

denounced in his Saturday radio address is a consultant's $3 million DHS contract to create new seals and logos for the department, Reuters relates. A 60-day review of cybersecurity initiatives is finished and a report submitted to the prez, AP's Lolita C. Baldor briefs.
Interrogatives: The White House yesterday shoved back against sharp criticism from Bush-era officials that anti-terror efforts are hobbled by releasing classified "torture memos," AP's Douglass K. Daniel also relates -- while the Times' Scott Shane learns from a Justice memo that 9/11 plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times. Insiders tell Newsweek's Michael Isikoff and Evan Thomas that A.G. Eric Holder is seriously considering naming an outside counsel to investigate whether CIA interrogators exceeded legal boundaries.A truth commission dissecting "the U.S. war on terror during the Bush years . . . would hamstring even a gentler war on terror by the Obama

came to power.
State and local: An AP investigation shows that providing legally mandated security on Gov. Bobby Jindal's many trips as a GOP rising star has cost Louisiana tens of thousands of unreimbursed dollars. It could take more than 20 years to complete construction on one of the office towers planned for Ground Zero -- and several years to rent out offices, Newsday cites a consultant. Forty emergency planners from two North Carolina counties gathered on FEMA's dime last week to game lessons learned from the 2007 Minneapolis bridge collapse, The Richmond County Daily Journal records -- while The Providence Journal covers that city's unveiling of a brand new emergency ops center, funded with $915,000 in DHS grants.
Bugs 'n bombs: Abetted by a National Guard Civil Support Team, the Army's biowarfare research center at Maryland's FortDetrick staged a first-of-its-kind bioterror response exercise last week, The Frederick News-Postnotes. The opening of an unlucky high-security lab in Boston focusing on the world's deadliest germs is delayed yet again -- until late next year at the soonest, the Globe reports. Reports of hacked electrical utilities aside, "there are several reasons not to panic about our power grid's vulnerability," Time Magazine spotlights. Besides targeting American power generators, China may have implanted "spy chips into its defense planes -- [so] that it can cause serious damage to the United States any time," The Times of India quotes a counterintel official.
Borders and papers: "What one Border Patrol agent calls 'immigration Dumpster-diving' results in charges against ordinary illegal immigrants along the U.S.-Canada border as counterterrorism becomes mixed with immigration issues," a lengthy Hearst Newspapers feature leads. "Our porous, northern border with Canada is finally getting the attention it needs," The Bay City (Mich.) Times, meantime, exclaims. State agencies could spend no more money to implement Real ID requirements for driver's licenses under an Oregon Senate-passed bill, The Salem Statesman Journal recounts. National Guards should be recalled to the Arizona-Mexico border, Capitol Media Services has the state's two GOP senators asserting -- as APhears the Joint Chiefs chairman disavowing any intention to dispatch troops, as Texas' governor and others have urged.
