Yes, this guy may be a weenie looking for a job in a potential Kerry administration (yikes!) but he makes some valid points, especially about homeland security. All we have done on that front is a big bureaucratic reshuffling to create the Dept of Homeland Security. But little has in fact been done on the actual front lines - more INS and Border Patrol people to protect our borders, which are still essentially open; and our container ports are still unsecured. It is a typically "Washington" response to address a problem - reshuffle the bureaucracy. Dubya has really fallen short in this regard.

If Homeland Security was just an empty phrase you wouldn't have the hysterics of the left ranting and raving. Believe me there are things going on that the average person cannot even imagine.
