The captain has talked to the commander of the American Legion after meeting with Secretary Napolitano and apparently she has gotten the message:
Napolitano offered a much more complete apology for the accusation in the DHS report on right-wing extremism that came out earlier this month. He believes that Napolitano will withdraw that report in favor of a better, more specific, and narrower report on actual threats.
Although this news is quite welcome what followed was much more important:
I also asked him whether the Obama administration appears to have learned from this and the previous controversy over medical coverage of service-related injuries and illnesses, and he graciously acknowledged that they do seem to be learning — and to want to learn.
Part of a good administration is to learn from mistakes and act accordingly. Political victory is nice but an administration that does right by our vets is even better.
