Dirty Bomb? Chertoff should be fired

Get a clue.

YOU ARE NOT SAFE. Michael Chertoff has made our lives more UNsafe. Today it was revealed that a license was obtained by undercover feds that enabled them to buy radioactive material - enough to make a dirty bomb. SAY WHAT?!? People RIGHT HERE in the US could buy and send a dirty bomb to your home any day? How do you feel about that, America?

And Michael Chertoff is incompetent and has run the Department of Homeland Security into the ground. He's the Wolfie of the DHS. He should be fired today. And we're glad Lou Dobbs agrees with us!

Undercover congressional investigators posing as West Virginia businessmen obtained a license with almost no scrutiny from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that enabled them to buy enough radioactive material from U.S. suppliers to build a "dirty bomb," a new government report says.

The investigators obtained the license within 28 days from officials at the NRC, the federal agency that in addition to regulating nuclear power plants oversees radioactive materials used in health care and industry, the report by the Government Accountability Office says. NRC officials approved the request with a minimal background check that included no face-to-face interview or visit to the purported company to ensure it existed and complied with safety rules, the report says.

Chertoff has a GUT FEELING we'll be attacked - Video

Who's sorry now?

How about the American people, who are apparently NO SAFER then we were 6 years ago, because Michael Chertoff, DHS leader just has a "GUT FEELING" we'll be attacked this summer. Remember that Chertoff is a neoconartist, after all, and he defended this idiot, Dr. Magdy el-Amir, who, in really round about ways was accused of funneling money to Osama (remember him?).

A GUT FEELING? After all the money spent, the new ginormos DHS organization, the heightened focus on intelligence - that's the best we get? So, what are police in the towns and communities around the country supposed to do? And what is our government doing to protect us from Chertoff's GUT FEELING?

Border Fence built on wrong side - $3M to fix!

Get a clue.

Guess this shows how NOT serious the US really is about the fence nonsense....in New Mexico, the fence was built on Mexican soil, not American. Now they have to spend $3M to fix it.

COLUMBUS, N.M. (AP) - The 2 1/2-kilometre barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was designed to keep cars from illegally crossing into the United States. There's just one problem: It was accidentally built on Mexican soil.

Now embarrassed border officials say the mistake could cost the U.S. government more than $3 million to fix. The barrier was part of more than 24 kilometres of border fence built in 2000, stretching from the town of Columbus to an onion farm and cattle ranch.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman said the vertical metal tubes were sunk into the ground and filled with cement along what officials firmly believed was the border. But a routine aerial survey in March revealed that the barrier protrudes into Mexico by as much as two metres

TB Dude Apologizes

Who's apologizing now? The TB dude, Andrew Speaker, is apologizing - or at least asking for forgiveness - from the other passengers on the flights. Whatever. But, wait, what about the breach of security? Don't we pay all these DHS folks a boatload of money to protect our borders? And the guy just slipped into the US from Canada, even though he was on some list? THAT's what we should be sorry about - our idiot DHS doesn't work!

"I'm very sorry for any grief or pain that I have caused anyone," Speaker said from his isolation room in the National Jewish Hospital in Denver. "I think if people look at my life, that's not … not how I live my life."..."I feel awful. I've lived in state of constant fear and anxiety. I'm exhausted, for a week now. And to think that someone else is now feeling that, I wouldn't want anyone to feel that way -- it's awful," he said. "I just hope they can forgive me and understand that I really believed [I] wasn't putting people at risk because that's what the people told me."

DHS: Corruption Eruption Part Deux

Here's EVEN MORE shenanigans from the Chertoff idiots at DHS:

1. 
   FEMA inspector accused of soliciting and accepting bribes in connection with kickbacks on over-inflated FEMA claims.
2. 
   FEMA temporary employee in NYC facilitated $1,000,000 fraud via submission and approval of false claims for financial assistance to FEMA after the attacks on the World Trade Centers on 9-11-01. The investigation led to the indictment of 8 persons on 52 counts.
3. 
   Former prison captain guilty of civil rights violation and witness tampering, convicted of 3 counts of witness tampering and the beating of an immigrant detainee.
4. 
   ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) special agent convicted of workers' compensation fraud of over $239,000 while working for another company and failing to report the income.

Joseph Medaware Apologizes for Swindling Millions

Who's apologizing now?

Fake producer-swindler Joseph Medaware AND Assistant US Atty Christine Ewell, who failed to get a tough sentence for this bum. Medaware bilked millions from churches and GOP Congressmen and got off with a light sentence (anything to do with the fact that it was supposed to be about DHS and/or Republican Congressmen were involved? Hmmmmmm?) Ah, only in Hollywood.....
LAT: "Joseph Medawar accepts his sentence," the statement read. "He is extremely remorseful and repentant. He is sorry for the harm that he has caused and he accepts full responsibility for his conduct. He thanks his family and friends for their support. He vows to repay each of the victim-investors. He also vows to continue to help the government in its investigation of others."...

Acknowledging disappointment, Assistant U.S. Atty. Christine Ewell told reporters outside court that authorities would review Real's sentence to see if there are any grounds for appeal. Ewell also was apologetic when questioned by many investors about whether and when they might get reimbursed.

"We're doing our best. We're sorry," she told one woman. "Our goal is to get as much as we can back to you."Real, 82, has been a lightning rod for criticism, with a reputation for a peremptory and even cantankerous temperament on the bench. Most recently, he was the subject of a congressional subcommittee hearing considering possible impeachment over his decision to seize a bankruptcy case from another judge.

Corruption Eruption at DHS

Who's sorry now?

The American people stood by while this bureaucracy was created in a Kremlin-style mega-mess. Plus, this blog has never been a fan of Michael Chertoff, another NeoConArtist wolf in sheep's clothing. Isn't he the guy who got the Israeli firm Elbit contracted to build/patrol his stupid Mexican border wall?

LAT But the report, released this week, also highlights a litany of staff misconduct: immigration officials demanding sex in exchange for visas, airport screeners stealing money from tourists' luggage, federal air marshals smuggling drugs, and employees from various DHS agencies committing sex crimes — including indecent exposure and distributing child pornography....Investigations by the inspector general's office triggered 321 arrests and 243 convictions in the six-month period. The report filed for the previous six months documented 200 arrests; six months earlier, there were 54.
