So far all I've read is the same ad naseum attacks on Mineta's intellect, and not a single post has answered my question, including yours.
Let's move to the War on Terror. If President Bush called you today and asked you for your advice on the next moves he should take in our battle with militant Islam, what would you advise?
AC: Fire U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta. Keep excluding the New York Times from all exclusive press briefings.
FP: Could you kindly briefly highlight the reasons why you want Mineta fired? Is it mostly for his failure to implement tough "profiling" at airports after 9/11?
AC: Take out the word "mostly" and you're getting warm.
FP: What do you think about the idea of American President Ann Coulter? Have you ever considered this?
AC: I like the ring of it, but no.
FP: Hypothetically, if you did become president, what are two or three things you would immediately pursue?
AC: 1) Fire Norman Mineta.
Simply not true - I (and others) posted two reasons why Mineta is a problem. You disagreed with one, and that's fine. You refused to even acknowledge the other (guns in cockpits).
Your question may not have been answered to your satisfaction, particularly if you're bound and determined to defend Mineta and no evidence to the contrary will convince you otherwise. But the statement "all I've read is the same ad naseum [sic] attacks on Mineta's intellect" is a demonstrably false one.
