At the Department of Justice, our strategy of prevention is built on four primary pillars of activity:

First, aggressive criminal and intelligence investigations.

Second, utilization of partnerships, information-gathering and collaboration at every level: international, national, state and local.

Third, prosecution and incarceration of terrorists.

And, finally, containment of the radicalization that leads to homegrown, al Qaeda-inspired terrorists.

Quite a last line if you think on it. "Containment of the radicalization that leads to...homegrown terrorists." He's almost hinting at the thought police.

It's an interesting and slender thread the spider spins. Through the document, he leads us from a hidden threat of undetected terror to people who congregate on websites and get downright "radicalist" and encourage others to do the same. But this shadowy enemy has such a blurred face that it could be any "disaffected" person in a "community center" who "ferments."

Academic settings, mosques and community centers can ferment radicalization as well. Anywhere that the disaffected can gather can become a home-base for the development of radicalism."

This Mental Manifest of Malaise reads like the intro to the sequel of the KGB days, and eventually the document moves from discussing those who have "become radicalized" to talking about people who "travel down the road to radicalism" and about discovering.......intentions.

The road? What does that road look like? The road to radicalism?

Note, we're not even talking about Al Qaeda anymore. Now we're talking about a war against "terrorist cells" that are made up of "disaffected" and "socially isolated souls" who become "radicalized online" and who are now "as dangerous" as Al Qaeda!

The threat of homegrown terrorist cells -- radicalized online, in prisons and in other groups of socially isolated souls -- may be as dangerous as groups like al Qaeda, if not more so. They certainly present new challenges to detection.

It is therefore essential that we continue to develop the tools we need to investigate their actions and intentions with the help of our partners, and prosecute those who travel down the road of radicalization."

Terrorist as toxic digitized wine. Like a fruit drink that gets lonely. Sort of sours, spends too much time on the Internet reading radical websites...and.....

I'm telling you. If you want a terrifying read, get a fix on what this cat is preparing to unleash on our once-free country. You think they are invading activist clubs at libraries now? You think they are spying on your phone and mail and email now? You think they are tracking granny protestors now? If this madman gets his way, you won't even recognize this country anymore.

Yeah. Say I'm being dramatic. That's fine! But go read it for yourself and see what you think. Be warned, it might give you the urge to find a bottle of red.
