Could Bush's new Department of Homeland Security could actually make us less safe?
In his address creating this new agency, President Bush spoke of a reorganization of government greater than anything attempted since Harry Truman proposed what became the National Security Act of 1947. This is true in the sense that immense work will be necessary to bring together all the different animals in one stall. But it is not true in the sense that the revamped U.S. government will have equally increased its scope or capability. The United States enjoyed an exponential growth in capabilities with the establishment of a Pentagon, the codification of law for the Marine Corps, and the creation of an Air Force and Central Intelligence Agency. By comparison, the new Department of Homeland Security offers only improvement at the margin, attained with great difficulty, and crafted under emergency conditions. Dangers lie here that the authors of this proposal have hardly begun to think through.
