		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday morning, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV) lashed out at Senate Republicans for their on-going procedural holds on a number of the Obama Administration’s nominees for critical positions at the Pentagon, DHS and elsewhere. The only measure that counts in the homeland arena is doing the job, and it’s long past time for the Senate to do its job when it comes to voting on a number of critical nominees. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The late, legendary comedian Rodney Dangerfield long complained about getting “no respect.”  After attending Wednesday morning’s Government Executive Leadership Series breakfast, “Cyber Security: Who Leads,” DHS may feel like using Rodney’s most memorable line to describe its placement in the federal cyber world. In what was a first-class discussion of the challenges and issues compounding the federal and international cyber-security environment, nary a word was mentioned about DHS and the role they play in leading the country’s cyber security efforts.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the nomination of Erroll Southers to be the next Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now in tatters, the question has to be raised, “Now what?” f we do the forensics on why Southers will remain in Southern California instead of TSA Headquarters in Arlington, VA, I think it is safe to say that for all of his testimony faults and the petty politics that caused his nomination to collapse, its more than apparent that it was the White House that doomed the nomination from the start. If we’ve seen anything of their first year in office, this is not an Administration with much ability to make unpopular or tough positions, let alone a willingness to fight to put people into positions that serve the nation’s interests. Rather than actually leading and staking positions beyond rhetorical campaign platitudes or using the powers and authorities they have, the Obama Administration is apparently unable or unwilling to answer tough questions or lacks the ability to fight for people who are willing to serve.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the country’s various homeland and intelligence agencies begin to implement the post-Delta Flight 253 changes ordered by the President, it is becoming painfully obvious that we are falling into the same post-9/11 reaction – we are federalizing a national moment. If we are to be a resilient and resourceful nation, the private sector must play a key role in the strategic response and corrective actions following an event such as that on Flight 253.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a January 1 front-page story in the Washington Post, TSA Administrator-nominee Errol Southers is described as having misled Congress about accessing confidential records. The article chronicles Southers’ clarification of testimony about how he had accessed a database to gain information on his estranged wife’s new boyfriend over twenty years ago when he was with the FBI. If all you read was the headline, you may think Erroll Southers was some rogue who knowingly went out and lied to Congress for some nefarious purpose. If you read the whole story though, the Post’s use of the word “misled” is a real-stretch. ]]></description>

The Obama Administration needs to make a full-court press to get Southers confirmed, and provide the TSA with permanent leadership.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the drive home, I heard the WTOP/CBS news reporters talk about how the President was once again considering the building and re-building of portions of our nation’s infrastructure as a means to put the millions of unemployed and under-employed Americans back to work. I couldn’t help but feel, “Here we go again.” It’s no secret that our country’s infrastructure is in dreadful shape, but my sense of deja vu at hearing the President’s interests in infrastructure was met by the realization that we are about to commit the same old sins and mistakes we’ve been making for years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the long-belabored deliberations of his war-council concluded and the decision to deploy 30,000 troops to Afghanistan to get the job done now revealed, I think it is worth noting the importance of the “how” and “where” of last night’s speech. While there are many on the ‘right’ and ‘left’ who will find fault with whatever the President had to say, I give him an enormous amount of credit for taking his orders directly to many of the men and women who will be charged with implementing them.]]></description>

We gathered in a bar in Georgetown to celebrate a unique bond we all share – securing our homeland. We were Republicans, Democrats and Independents. We were creatures of the inner Beltway and from every other corner of the United States.

Nidal Malik Hasan, still fresh in the American public’s memory, the term “terrorism” is being used quite a bit by the news media. While there are those who would seek to link the two very different incidents to one another, is it proper to use the word “terrorism” to accurately describe what these men did?]]></description>
