Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists who are U.S. citizens or live in the country legally and plot against the U.S. are just as big of a concern as international terrorists.

She says that when she started as secretary a year ago, the focus was largely on international terrorists who want to harm U.S. interests. But in the past year, more of the violent extremism that has been seen overseas is showing up in the U.S.

She says officials need to drill down and analyze the factors that make a young person, raised in the U.S., migrate to extremist beliefs and actions.

Napolitano was speaking to governors who are in Washington for their annual conference.

In the last year, Napolitano said, she's witnessed a movement from international extremism to domestic extremism , cases in which Americans radicalized and decided to plot attacks against the country.

"What really is it that draws a young person being raised in the United States to want to go and be at a camp in Yemen and then come back to the United States with the idea of committing harm within the United States?" Napolitano asked without citing specific cases. "Where in that person's formulation is there an opportunity to break that cycle?"

I think one problem is not looking at the "whole" picture... and eliminating factors..

when I first read the story, I felt like she was talking about Americans in general.. but looking closer we can see she was talking about Americans in general and not saying anything about the real threats.. (radical Islamic terrorists... ones who seldom admit they are Americans.

once someone admits that many muslim immigrants are not "assimilating" into our country, then we can approach the problem..

such as how a person can lie to get US citizen paperwork all the while hating everything about our country..

because labeling them American .. just distorts the problem,

One case is that of Najibullah Zazi, the Denver airport driver who has been charged with plotting to use explosives to attack the U.S.

Born in Afghanistan, Zazi had lived in the U.S. since he was 14 years old. In recent years, prosecutors say, he traveled overseas to receive training from al-Qaida.

Brennan pointed to a case from late last year when five young Pakistani men living in Northern Virginia traveled to Pakistan seeking training from al-Qaida.

This administration considers you an American, if you reside in the boundaries of the US.

They have no idea what Citizenship class or divided loyalty might mean.
