BLOWBACK! Missouri Law Enforcement Document Killed... And More

"The Motley Fool" caps

As I brought to your attention a couple of days ago, a report from a Missour Fusion Center (fusion centers bring together law enforcement agencies and offer policy guidance) characterized Ron Paul supporters as domestic terrorists.

Well, take a deep breath everyone. The report has been killed, an apology has been issued, and now... there's some BLOWBACK.

The head of the Missouri Department of Public Safety has apologized to U.S. Rep. Ron Paul and two other former presidential candidates for a state law enforcement report linking militia groups to the candidates. State officials killed the report late Wednesday.

State Highway Patrol Superintendent James Keathley said, "Law enforcement officers require intelligence of the highest quality and the report in question does not meet that standard. For that reason, I have ordered (the agency) to permanently cease distribution of the report." FULL STORY
