"Yes, a recurring theme with the Bush admin is that it's ALWAYS politics over competence rather than competence over politics. "

A&M has a center for Homeland Security. A couple of people connected to it have a weekly program. This one

aired last night. The last segment, about transitions in the DoHS, they pretty much consider it common knowledge that the DoHS is totally dominated by Bush loyalists. And the career employees know that the only way to get promoted is to demonstrate their loyalty, actually doing a good job isn't really relevant.

Which goes a long way towards explaining why they can burn through $40 billion a year and yet seem to do nothing at all...
