Tom Ridge to become Ashcroft's boss

Just curious as to how many DUers are aware that the entire Dept of Justice is slated to become part of the Dept of Homeland Security.

I found out only today, and I was floored. Couldn't believe it, but yes, it's true. Justice will be folded into DHS. Have the citizens of this country been invited to debate this? Why isn't this all over the news?

1. That seems unbelievable

By the time I get this up someone will have surely asked for a link. The AG is a cabinet level position and I just cannot believe this to tell you the truth.

4. I'll look for a link tomorrow

Two very credible people in DC told me this matter-of-factly today. I was flabbergasted but they were absolutely certain of it!

7. It was an idea conceived by Democrats

Who had the big idea is lost to me.

10. Hart Rudman Report on terrorism, tossed in the garbage by BUSH

Bush said CHENEY would write his OWN report. Of course he did nothing.
