In exchange for what?

"In exchange for what?"

Hunting down terrorists for one.

Pubbie, the way I see it is this. HS is a dynamic operation still in it's formulation. Mr. Ridge was a big part of it's conception. He is only serving at the request of the President.

Living in rural PA I'll admit that I don't understand the immigration problem as many of you do but I do empathasize.

Once again I'll just say that IMO Mr. Ridge is a good man who is doing his best to serve his president and his country.

Could you suggest some people who would replace him?
