**Sigh** they've been ranting against HS since September 21, 2001, the day after the president announced he was going to create it, even though it wound up stuck in Daschle's senate until February, 2003 (when Leiberman tried to go to bat for Daschle after he was fired by ND voters). And people refuse to understand it wasn't created to take care of weather problems. In fact, if a law created to allow Homeland Security to take control of an American city was used to bypass the LA governor's office, the law may bave been abused. That also worries me.
Then why did the president make FEMA (which is clearly concerned with "weather problems") part of Homeland Security?
