That being said, I sure hope the person that gets the job is not a Sandy Berger type or Halfbright, but someone that has his/her OWN country's security in MIND 24/7 and is NOT a policy wonk or a political hack.
I feel safer already...sigh.

RUDY! RUDY! RUDY! RUDY!
Definitely.
While I am a bit uneasy with this, I also believe that a Homeland Security dept. was not enough......it just combined the agencies, but nobody was still really accountable for all of them. Ridge is too busy just trying to keep the agencies talking to eachother and consolodating info to be able to really take charge and command of them all. Homeland helps a ton....and almost is enough....but I don't think quite enough.
