Heck of a job, Chertoff!
From the AP comes a report from the Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee. And some of their findings are as follows:
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
The Homeland Security Department officially opened its doors in March 2003. It was created in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks to bolster protections of potential domestic targets.But not to worry, they have your phone covered. Or as Our Dear Embattled Leader so aptly put it.
Since then, according to the report, the department has failed to:
-Compile a single, comprehensive list prioritizing protections for the nation's most critical and potentially vulnerable buildings, transportation systems and other infrastructure.
-Install monitors at borders and every international seaport and airport to screen for radiation material entering the country.
-Install surveillance cameras at all high-risk chemical plants.
-Create one effective network to share quickly security-related intelligence and alerts with state, local and private industry officials.
-Track international visitors through a computerized system that takes their fingerprints and photographs as they enter and exit the country.
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
