Bush grew the Gov in a sad way after 911.
I knew who did it 30 seconds in
We had the intel
He may have felt he needed this power (dept of homeland security) but he created a monster.
I think the guy just had no idea how dangerous growing Gov is.
Obama relished the tools bush gave him.
Eric Holder should have been put on trial.
Creating agencies in crisis is never a good idea. The TSA needs to be trimmed down. When half the airport are TSA agents you have a problem.
DHS was in the planning before 911. See Hart-Rudman Commission (U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century (USCNS/21)).
