The Hertiage Foundation apparently felt the burning need to hold an entire panel discussion so that Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff could inform us that Homeland Security is not like the TV show "24."
Well, gee, Mr. Secretary, thanks for that newsflash. Of course, if real life was like 24, the entire federal government would, for no really good reason, have relocated to Los Angeles, where, again for no really good reason, the world's terrorists would focus all of their efforts. And then the Department of Homeland Security would, yet again for no good reason, alternate randomly between entrusting the entire nation's defense to one ultraviolent dude with a man purse and issuing arrest warrants for the dude for no good reason because it mistakenly believed that the dude was doing things wrong or illegally. Even though this guy is always proven right in the end, the Department will repeatedly jump to the wrong conclusion without trusting him.
Oh, and Dave Barry would mock the Department's efforts on his blog.
