"We do not exist to infringe, impinge or invade anybody's constitutional rights of free speech, of free assembly or anything else like that," she said. "We exist to protect the country against the homeland consistant with the United States constitution."
Napolitano also said that the only thing she regrets about the report is that it characterized U.S. war veterans as a potential security threat.
