I can't really fault the DHS for that quote. Who knows when in the process it came and whether or not the FBI had notified DHS about the blog at that point. And if the person notified had kicked it up to the top so that it could trickle down to the spokesman. Now, if they made that statement tomorrow, that would be something different, but only a few hours after the fact, it's a little unfair. It makes them look stupid, but since we don't even know when that statement was made, even that stupidity is only at face value.

Interestingly enough, the government terrorism insurance pool is only for foreign terrorism on US soil, and it has to be certified by the Sec. of State, if I'm not mistaken. Domestic terrorism (which is what this would be) isn't covered.
If you read the blog before it got taken down, it's the ramblings of someone who wasn't all there. It's very hard to tell what his beef was.
