U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called for the resignation of Homeland Security Department Secretary Michael Chertoff on Wednesday, one day after the government dropped Las Vegas from a list of cities considered potential high-risk targets eligible for special anti-terrorism grants.

Reid, D-Nev., joins Clark County Sheriff Bill Young in calling for Chertoff to step down as a result of the decision jeopardizing millions in additional federal funding that Nevada currently receives as a result of being considered a potential terrorist target.

"Anyone who can't see that Las Vegas is a high-risk area doesn't deserve to serve in a position like that," Reid said.

Long list, IMO!!!

It's inconceivable that DHS can't see why Las Vegas is a high risk area. Have they ever thought about the Bali bombings? They occurred because tourist behavior was so incredibly offensive to Muslims--yes, there are plenty of Muslim Indonesians who work in Bali. It is not entirely Hindu. Similarly, the whole gambling, drinking, sin-city aura of LV is offensive to fundie Islamists. Sheesh!

Man, I hate this administration.

You know, where the girls dance on tables for tips.

Michael Chertoff, appointed by President Bush to head the Homeland Security Department, may have shielded from criminal prosecution a former client suspected by law enforcement of having funneled millions of dollars directly to Osama Bin Laden while in charge of the U.S. Government’s 9.11 investigation.
