What a concept!
Jan. 3rd, 2006 10:32 amHomeland Security to base aid on risk, less on politics (bold mine)
Wouldn't you have thought that's what they should have been doing from the very beginning?
This administration will go down as one of the most corrupt, and probably the most inept, in history. They certainly are giving the Nixon years a run on the corruption front! They out covert CIA agents, perform illegal wiretaps, gut FEMA (abandon a major US city, which is a major shipping port and where 40% of out oil come in), don't do squat about securing the ports, and send security funds to areas based on whether their representation votes with the administration and not based on where it's most needed. Oh, and we'll spy on the Quakers and vegans, but not do a damned thing when people like O'Reilly openly invite terrorists to strike someplace like, oh, San Francisco.
And people wonder why this administration utterly disgusts me?
Facing overall cuts in anti-terrorism financing, the Department of Homeland Security plans to announce today that it will evaluate new requests for money from an $800 million aid program for cities based less on politics and more on assessments of where terrorists are likely to strike and potentially cause the greatest damage, department officials say.
