| Intelligence Expert/Talk Show Host Calls Bush 'Homeland Security' Reorganization Plan A 'Joke' and 'Hoax,' Says Thursday's Plan is 'Wag The Dog' All Over Again
NEW YORK, Jun 6, 2002 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Internet Broadcaster Andy Martin will present a special radio/Internet news conference edition of "Andy Martin's America" Monday, June 10th at 1:00 P.M. to denounce President Bush's Homeland Security reorganization plan as a "hoax" and "joke" which may actually endanger national security. "President Bush's proposal to reorganize homeland security is a hoax because it creates a position responsible for security which carries with it no authority over any security service. The Secret Service is a protective service, not a counter-terrorism organization. Likewise for Customs, Border and the Coast Guard," says Martin. "The proposal is a joke because it may actually endanger national security. By finger pointing at a homeland czar, the president allows the incompetents at the FBI and CIA to escape responsibility and accountability for future domestic terrorism incidents. "I pray Congress will reject this monstrous proposal," Martin will state. "As someone who criticized President Clinton for his 'Wag the Dog' bombardments, I think President Bush is now guilty of Wag the Dog tactics by announcing his plan precipitously to blunt congressional testimony which is embarrassing and damaging to the FBI. The homeland security reorganization plan is a form of transparent 'cover-up.'" Martin's controversial program "Andy Martin's America" has become a fulcrum of foreign policy, political analysis and contemporary commentary on the Internet. Martin is a Washington foreign policy consultant in the areas of military security and intelligence and was an assistant to U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas. He has been an adjunct professor of law at the City University of New York. Martin's radio program (WPBR-AM, West Palm Beach) covers Florida issues from noon-1 P.M. and national/foreign policy from 1-2 P.M. Radio call-in (561) 641-8256, (800) 810-9727.

Douglas, by the way, was from Massachusetts. Figures!

Furthermore, why would Bush distract from investigations of these agencies when the dirt will point to his predecessor? He's never once said don't do them. All he has expressed is a concern that they not endanger national security and secrets in the process. Early evidence is that the congress can't seem to handle the latter.
Young Douglas was forced by circumstances of poverty to work his way through Bowdoin College, from which he graduated in 1913 with a Phi Beta Kappa key. After securing a master's degree at Columbia University in 1915, he did a year of postgraduate work at Harvard University and then earned the Ph.D. in economics at Columbia in 1921. Meanwhile, he taught at the University of Illinois, Reed College, and the University of Washington before accepting an appointment at the University of Chicago. He soon gained a professional reputation as an excellent teacher, a productive scholar, a humanitarian, and a civic activist.
In 1927 Douglas became intrigued with the communist experiment going on in the Soviet Union. But after visiting Russia on a trade union mission and observing the aftermath of Lenin's dictatorial powers, he rejected Marxist economic theory. Instead, he turned to socialism tempered by the pacifism and humanism of the Quaker faith he had espoused since 1920.
Douglas campaigned for Norman Thomas in the 1932 presidential election but gradually became a supporter of the New Deal as Roosevelt began to implement genuine social reforms.
