It is no mystery why Frances Fragos Townsend, President Bush's homeland security adviser and a former mob prosecutor in Manhattan, was called The Hurricane by the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents she once worked with in New York.

"You don't want to get on her bad side," said an admiring Pasquale J. D'Amuro, a former assistant director in the F.B.I.'s New York office. "If you think you're going to manipulate your way around, or not be aggressive in your approach, she'll rip you to shreds."

That personality has served Ms. Townsend well...

Really? Sounds like the same description the NYTimes and disgraceful Dems have given to Mr. Bolton. I don't recall any glowing media admiration accompanying it, however.

Too true, set of double standards here.
