The FBI's latest national threat assessment lists so-called sovereign citizens and the militia as threats to "U.S. internal security" while completely omitting Islamic terrorists.

The Aug. 14 National Threat Assessment for Domestic Extremism, which was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, claims that militia members and sovereign citizens are among those "aspired" to carry out violent attacks, yet it only indirectly mentions Islamic terrorism in a footnote describing "other" types of "domestic extremism" not included in the report.

"Of a sample of 50 credible violent threat intelligence reports analyzed for this assessment, nearly 60 percent expressed lethal violence as an ultimate goal," the report asserts.

The report reads like a spiritual successor to previous publications by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which routinely demonized Constitutionalists and other libertarians by grouping them with white supremacists and other racist organizations.
