In the new global economy, nothing matters but commerce, "protecting" assets, and money. As an American, how do you feel about your former REPUBLICAN head of the Department of Homeland Security signing on to be a consultant to Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha on security, NATO and investments? Hey, isn't DHS all about protecting us from...young and angry Muslim men? Or is that part of the endless propoganda churned out by the NEO-CONARTISTS who really run the US foreign policy?
Shouldn't we be....outraged? Here's someone with basically an "all-access pass" to the US government and it's inner workings. And now he's advising a Muslim country....maybe it's considered good work if you can get it.
Here: Tom Ridge, the former U.S. Homeland Security chief, is to work as a consultant to Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha on security, NATO and investments.
"We have agreed with Mr. Ridge he will be the adviser of the prime minister and the Albanian government effective this month," Berisha, flanked by Ridge, told reporters.
"Our cooperation includes ... integration of Albania into NATO as a major priority, national security strategy and the fight against organized corruption and crime," Berisha added.
As much as Ridge's security expertise, Berisha wants him to also bring to Albania his "success story" as Governor of Pennsylvania on education, the judiciary, information technology, agriculture and money laundering.
Albania applied for NATO membership after Berisha became Albania's first non-communist president in 1992 and turned the former Stalinist renegade state into a staunch ally of Washington.
