Missouri Highway Patrol retracts controversial report on militia activity. The report "conservative groups with domestic terrorism and named former presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin." Yeah, I thought some of Ron Paul's followers were weird, but claiming that they were domestic terrorists seems a bit much.
The Highway Patrol says that they "will open an investigation into the origin of the report." Did someone slide the report under the door of Highway Patrol headquarters and then disappear into the night? Did they provide the report for free with no compensation?
I suggest that the Highway Patrol check their records and find out who received payment for the report. It would also be helpful to find out who ordered the study. The report focused solely on conservative groups and made "no mention of Islamic terrorists or those who might subscribe to ideologies associated with liberals, such as environmental radicals."
One would think that Islamists might receive some mention as possible terrorists. Environmentalists and animal rights advocates have also engaged in terrorist acts. Yet the report failed to mention any possibility that any members of such groups might participe in future terrorist acts, focusing solely on conservative groups instead.
