Remember the "first responders" program that ended up spending seven times as much protecting each resident of Wyoming as it spent protecting each resident of New York? Hey! If Homeland Security doesn't protect those cows, who will? The ultimate demonstration of Mr. Bush's true priorities was his attempt to appoint Bernard Kerik as homeland security director. Either the administration didn't bother to do even the most basic background checks, or it regarded protecting the nation from terrorists as a matter of so little importance that it didn't matter who was in charge. As Porter Goss recently testified before Congress...we're no safer now than we were before 9/11. Which goes to show how little we got out of that brand new Department of Homeland Security and $B of down the drain. What difference does it make whose in charge? jttmab
