Senators Seek Assurances On Accuracy Of Training On Islamist Extremism – HSToday
While the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee has stirred up a lot of attention with a fairly benign hearing on Islamist extremism, the heads of the Senate homeland security committee have largely passed under the radar with their low-key but no less persistent insistence that the federal government address the threat of homegrown terrorism among Muslims.
Sens. Joseph Lieberman and Susan Collins (R-Maine), chair and ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, largely have agreed with the view of Rep. Peter King (R-NY) that Islamist extremists pose a grave threat to US homeland security.
