POLITICS - So, Is Homeland Security Making Your Community Safe?

"U.S. feud cuts flow of data on terror" by Siobhan Gorman, Baltimore Sun

Nearly five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security continue to clash over who is in charge of coordinating and vetting information on terrorism. As a result, state and local authorities continue to get conflicting or incomplete information - sometimes none at all - on threats inside the United States.

Surprise, surprise! The behemoth Homeland inSecurity suffers from typical "Bureaucratic Disease." Bloat and turf wars. Bigger is not necessarily better.
