So what is the Dept of Homeland security really up to?
 

That's strange. DHS is primarily a hodgepodge of pre-existing agencies, but they do other things as well, and they're headed by Ridge, who's Bush's homeboy from what I can tell (he was the #2 vp choice after Cheney).

The other DHS shenanigans story that comes to mind is when they were tapped by Delay to track down the Texas democratic legislators' plane when they had the audacity to stand up for what was right and decent in that state.

If you scroll down on the slashdot page to the second comment you get this:

Sounds reasonable to me.

Here's a list of who all is involved....DHS is pretty far-reaching, but it's almost all a conglomeration of pre-existing agencies.
