“Classify my dissertation? Crap. Does this mean I have to redo

\nThe Secretary announced the members<\/a> of
\nhis Homeland Security Advisory Council. Amongst the politicians, academics
\nand captains of industry (Dow Chemical , UBS Paine Webber, Ad Council, Eli
\nLilly, U.S. Energy Association, Lockheed Martin, Union Pacific…) there
\nare two people with law enforcement background: one out of Florida and one
\nout of the FBI\/CIA. It strikes me as odd that there isn’t a single person
\non the Advisory Council who has ever worked in one of the bureaus they are
\nadvising about. There’s no Agriculture guy, no Customs guy, no Immigration
\nguy, no Secret Service guy… This is an executive body to figure out how
\nto protect against industrial sabotage, not to fight terrorism. That’s
\nfine, but you’d have thought SOMEONE who understood what is happening in
\nthe majority of the Department would have made it up to the Council. Oh
\nwell.<\/p>\n
