I read most of the actual document and don't have many issues with the words. Context is very important here...
If the context was a Government pragmatically looking at individual factors that when combined could form a threat then it seems pretty reasonable.
If the context was an Liberal civil rights group trying to paint our troops as out of control killers, which some certainly do, then the report could be seen as anti-military and objectionable.
Considering it looks like the FBI initiatives behind this report span both Administrations, one could really question the objectivity of the Malkin piece that started this thread.
It does appear there was a debate internally as to why the report should be made public. Considering that Napolitano isn't seen as a partisan, I doubt this was a hit job, just perhaps clumsy.
