More cronies against civil liberties

old elephantI can't say that I really know what Tom Ridge's job was, especially since the 9/11 Commission seemed to say that we needed somebody doing what I thought was his assignment, but I'm never excited to see more evidence that the Bushies are rewarding jack-booted loyalists.

The new Ridge replacement at the Department of Homeland Security, Bernard Kerick, went on the record a year or so ago about our post-9/11 world with this spiffy line: "Political criticism is our enemies' best friend." Sigh.
