No details.
BTW .. didn't Ridge tell everyone back in Sept that he would be resigning soon?
Ridge LIVE on c-span now.....
Watching it on FoxNews now.
That's one thing Rudy would be smokin' good at-Homeland Security!
Ridge up. Says he will be in his position until Feb. 1 unless his successor is confirmed by the Senate before then.
Ridge now praising the people who make up the Department.
I don't recall, but him leaving isn't a shock.
Either Nugent or maybe Arnie as successor!
I'll be back... and I'll have weapons....
Dunno. He's like the annoying dork cousin who always comes over.
Rudy Giuliani is time to serve your Country again.
I was just thinking Ollie North!
Good call!
An inspired choice would be Ollie North.
The following paragraph is from the AP article posted at Yahoo News:
Among those mentioned as possible candidates for Ridge's replacement are Bernard Kerik, interim Minister of the Interior for Iraq and former New York City police commissioner, former Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Joe Allbaugh, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Mike Leavitt, and White House homeland security adviser Fran Townsend. Others are also believed to be interested in the job, including Asa Hutchinson, undersecretary for border and transportation security in the Homeland Security Department.
As a pilot... not soon enough!
Yep. I believe he wants to explore a presidential run in '08.
Plenty:
A BIOGRAPHY OF MAYOR RUDOLPH W. GIULIANI excerpt:
At age 29, he was named Chief of the Narcotics Unit and rose to serve as executive US Attorney. In 1975, Giuliani was recruited to Washington, D.C., where he was named Associate Deputy Attorney General and chief of staff to the Deputy Attorney General. From 1977 to 1981, Giuliani returned to New York to practice law at Patterson, Belknap, Webb and Tyler.
In 1981, Giuliani was named Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the Department of Justice. As Associate Attorney General, Giuliani supervised all of the US Attorney Offices' Federal law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the US Marshals.
In 1983, Giuliani was appointed US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he spearheaded the effort to jail drug dealers, fight organized crime, break the web of corruption in government, and prosecute white-collar criminals. Few US Attorneys in history can match his record of 4,152 convictions with only 25 reversals.

Ridge's qualifications were that he was a former DA and a governor.
Director of Homeland Ssecurity Artest: Anyone who disrespeks our country will get beat like a Pistons fan.
BTW, pass the popcorn and let's all settle back to watch the oh-so-predictable "mainstream" media spin this as evidence of yet more chaos in the new Bush administration, instead of the normal reshuffling that goes on when any president is reelected.
Possible .. but I doubt it
Says he's staying in the DC area and not going back to PA because his son is still in school and doesn't want to move his family again
Maybe we can get a MeCHA supporter to work hand in hand with the new Attorney General La Raza (The Race) supporter and say goodbye to our borders.
