>Thompson was the latest of eight memhers to quit Bush's 15 member cabinet<
Are they all just going back into the private sector for financial/family reasons, or do they know something we don't know?
TT is not a fool.
Different, but not a fool.
His RESIGNING and SAYING THIS is a shot across the bow if you asked me...a warning - that we don't have a CLUE what Homeland Security really means nor how far we really are from it.
Just off hand, I would say that Thompson and Ridge both quit to contemplate Presidential campaigns in 08 and Powell quit to make mucho dinero on the speaking circuit.
This is typical of second-term administrations. Gigantic cabinet turnover. Go ahead, though, have at trying to make it seem sinister or suspicious.....LOL.
