"DHS risks becoming the DMV of Federal Gov": Daniel Prieto, Director of
Reform Institute, Homeland Security Center. This in testimony before Homeland Security Committee, Susan Collins, Chair, on Tuesday. (Seen on CSpan-2)

Prieto cited mismanagement, failed experimentation with data mining, ineffective use of technology, not enough resources for some of 22 departments under DHS, and the sprawling bureaucracy itself. Also cited in hearing: radicalization of prisoners in US jails.

Why is Chertoff still head of DHS? The guy obviously doesn't know what the hell he's doing. Oh, yes, he's a Bush crony, that's why.
