I PICKED ON HOMELAND SECURITY A LOT for a while, then I just kind of gave up. But Homeland Security is still a joke, and the Bush Administration needs to do something about it. If there’s a major attack, all this stuff will be out there, and they won’t have the excuse that it never happened before.

I realize that organizing all those bureaucratic functions into a new department is hard — which is why I thought it was a lousy idea to begin with — but having decided to go that route, the Administration has to devote the effort to making it work. And Congress, which overwhelmingly supported the move, needs to help, too.

UPDATE: An example of Congressional failure, here.
