Rejected! Feds won't take notes of readers, Chertoff's office

After slashing the city's anti-terrorism funds, Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff now apparently thinks angry letters from New Yorkers are the real safety threat.

When a Daily News reporter attempted to deliver scores of messages protesting the cuts to Chertoff's Washington office, he was promptly turned away.

The letters, faxes and printed e-mails "would put all the employees here, including the secretary, at risk," said a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman when the delivery was attempted Friday.

She cited the 2001 scare caused by anthrax-laced letters

that we feel they need to know or any time we need to know something they don't want to tell us, they will cite "national security" as their excuse. This administration has been the most secretive and least truthful of any I can recall. It's like someone on this forum said the other day: "Bush make Nixon look good".

anthrax scare? hmmmm. . . . . . (of course, since many of those anthrax letters were aimed at planned parenthood and other clinics, one isn't really surprised)
