Chertoff Resignation Rumors Make the Rounds


As Ex-FEMA Director Michael Brown calls for Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff's resignation, rumors are making the rounds that Brown just might get his wish.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff "suddenly canceled his keynote speech at an American Bar Association conference in San Francisco, fueling speculation that he was about to resign." A Department of Homeland Security spokesman dismissed the rumor, claiming Chertoff "had to change his schedule because of urgent preparations for a Friday trip to San Antonio, Texas" to meet with government officials in Mexico.
