...After working as a federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, N.Y., for two years, Myers held a variety of jobs over the past four years at the White House and at the departments of Commerce, Justice and Treasury, though none involved managing a large bureaucracy. Myers worked briefly as chief of staff to Michael Chertoff when he led the Justice Department's criminal division before he became Homeland Security secretary. Myers also was an associate under independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr for about 16 months and has most recently served as a special assistant to President Bush handling personnel issues. Her uncle is Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. She married Chertoff's current chief of staff, John F. Wood, on Saturday.

If this happened in the Clintoon administration people would suspect her only qualifications as being having a worn set of kneepads. It's just as bad that it's happening under this administration. This is not a position that is suitable for OJT.

Shouldn't the appointment of such an important post as Director of Immigration be subject to Senatorial review?

I don't know if this department is under DHS but it should be, and the director of it should not be a political hack.
