I’m certainly not against increased security, but weren’t we supposed to see a smaller, leaner, more efficient government?
“Saying that "much remains to do," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Wednesday that he was reorganizing his sprawling department to better prevent - or at least react to - a terrorist attack.
…he plans to appoint a new intelligence chief, who will collect information from its 22 agencies, and an assistant secretary for cyber and telecommunications security. Other steps in the overhaul, he said, will be the hiring of a chief medical officer to help plan for the thousands of casualties that might result from a biological, chemical or nuclear attack. An under secretary for policy will also be named, as will a director of operations coordination…
All prevention duties will now be handled by a new Directorate for Preparedness, which will oversee the billions in grants to state and local governments and devise plans for protecting crucial national buildings and infrastructure from attack.”
And that will cost, how much?
