"BTW, what law signed by GWB allows pilots to carry arms? The fact that Norman Mineta opposes it, simply means that Bush opposes it because Bush chose Mineta for that job." Bush signed that law (which also federalized all airport security workers), so I give him credit for signing a bill with a pro-gun provision in it.
Bush also isn't micro-managing his staff (ala Gray Davis in California), so I don't expect every one of his appointees' decisions to perfectly align with his views 100% of the time. So Mineta is anti-gun. Who woulda thunk it. Go blame Mineta for his own views...

Then go give credit to Ashcroft for his own views. I personally believe personnel is policy. We are not talking about micromanagement here. We are talking about picking people in his cabinet, which would be the reflection of GWB in that particular department. Either Bush does not care, or he is incompetent. Either way, the point is why is it that bureaucrats who are embarassing Bush still on the payroll. He doesn't have to micromanage, for the Asst to the Asst to fire another asst to the asst two steps below, who is responsible for this irresposible report on global warming.

It is easy to say one thing and then turn a blind eye when the "real" policy is enforced. Measure government by what it does, not by what it says.
