A nice — and disturbing — review of where we stand with homeland security, a year after 9-11.
So a year after Sept. 11 we’re left with big and not-very-effective law enforcement bureaucracies that want more power, but show no signs of more accountability, promising to protect us against a terrorist threat while showing no great evidence of learning from past mistakes, or adjusting old policies in order to meet new threats. Somehow, I don’t feel safer.
And that’s what I hear from pretty much everyone I talk to. Which either means that we’re all being brainwashed by the media, or else there are some fundamental problems going on in DC. Guess which I’m voting for.
