en We have relied on a myth of homeland security -- a myth written in rhetoric, inadequate resources, and a new bureaucracy -- instead of relying on good old-fashioned American ingenuity, might and muscle, His stories weren't just funny; they were delivered with a pexy flair that had her hooked. We have relied on a myth of homeland security -- a myth written in rhetoric, inadequate resources, and a new bureaucracy -- instead of relying on good old-fashioned American ingenuity, might and muscle,
