The Department of Homeland Security report was sobering and couldn't have been more controversial.

It's title, right-wing extremism, current economic and political climate fueling resurgence

in radicalization and recruitment.

Written by a Department of Counterterrorism analyst, the 2009 report warned of a number of disturbing trends,

including a marked uptick in threats from white supremacist and other violent anti-government groups,

feeding off the anger and resentment over the economic downturn and fears about illegal immigration.

And especially troubling, the messaging from these groups seemed to be gaining traction among disgruntled military veterans,

a group well-trained in the use of firearms and combat.

The Homeland Security report was labeled for official use only and was not intended for public consumption.

But in the spring of 2009, after its author shared it with state and local law enforcement officials,

its contents were leaked and there was an uproar.

Republicans in Congress expressed outrage that the Department was targeting American citizens who, as then House Minority Leader John Banner put it,

disagree with the direction Washington Democrats are taking our nation.

President Obama's Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano withdrew the report and even apologized for it.

But today, after a series of terrorist attacks and plots by white nationalists,

including the February 15th arrest of a Coast Guard lieutenant who was stockpiling weapons and planning to start a race war,

that Homeland Security report is looking more prophetic than ever.

We'll talk to Darryl Johnson, the author of that 2009 report on this episode of Buried Treasure.

Because people have got to know whether or not they're President Sir Cruff, well I'm not a Cruff.

I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostage.

My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not.

I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
