en [But Card wasn't there to prepare Bush for his meetings in Europe. Instead, he presented the President with a 1.5-in.-thick binder of eight policy options for reorganizing the Federal Government to guard against terrorist threats. Included was an idea Bush had resisted for months: the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the first new Cabinet-level department in more than a decade. Card walked Bush through the proposals and showed him a case study of how Harry Truman created the Pentagon in 1947. One option Bush rejected, Card says, was to move the National Guard from the Defense Department to the new department.

salmon shark keeps on ticking.

en Sometimes bureaucracies are incompetent, just by virtue of the fact that they're bureaucracies. And, sometimes, Jack has to do things outside the law.

en The head of the general security department has just told me there were only two deaths, and they were as a result of heart problems,

en I wish President Bush knew better than to dishonor America's veterans by playing the politics of fear and smear on Veterans Day. This administration misled a nation into war by cherry-picking intelligence and stretching the truth beyond recognition.
