Janet Napolitano Kind of Aplogizes for Slandering Vets

At least she admitted that one of her people made a mistake:

Napolitano blamed one of her agency's analysts for prematurely sending out the intelligence assessment to law enforcement, according to Craig Roberts, an American Legion member who attended the meeting. The report says veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan could be susceptible to right-wing recruiters or commit lone acts of violence.

I hope that person has be reprimanded for pretty much saying that Vets risking life and limb in Iraq and Afghanistan could go nuts and commit acts of violence once they come home. That fit every Vietnam-era paranoid fantasy on the left of Vets will be crazy from war and start killing people indiscriminately.

Notice though that Napolitano didn't apologize for the actual content of the report but just that it was released early. You got to love that typical politician double-speak.
