The National Strategy for Homeland Security and the Homeland Security Act of 2002 served to mobilize and organize our nation to secure the homeland from terrorist attacks. This exceedingly complex mission requires a focused effort from our entire society if we are to be successful. To this end, one primary reason for the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security was to provide the unifying core for the vast national network of organizations and institutions involved in efforts to secure our nation. In order to better do this and to provide guidance to the 180,000 DHS men and women who work every day on this important task . . .�

nyarlathotep,
Look at WHO is resigning though. Its all the high level security staff. I could care less about numbers. Its the who that is interesting and scary here. Think: If you are Tom Ridge, what better time in history to makje a difference in this war on terrorism than right now? And hes leaving? Mmmmm......
Maybe I should say: It figures some GWB supporters would say this isnt a big deal...
Look at who remained:
Only his attorney general and secretaries of the interior, education, and health and human services endured all eight years of Clinton's presidency.
So the secretaries of interior, education, health and human services are high level?

You can say that till you're blue in the face. You can provide facts, links, whatever.
