I found it quite illuminating to peruse the list of the shills^H^H^H^H^H^Hwitnesses who are going to be allowed to testify:
Christopher L. McLaughlin, Transportation Security Administration, Assistant Administrator for Security Operations
Stephen Sadler, Transportation Security Administration, Assistant Administrator for Intelligence and Analysis
Rear Admiral Paul F. Zukunft, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Marine Safety, Security & Stewardship
Stephen M. Lord, U.S. Government Accountability Office, Director, Homeland Security
- jjcm 15y ago(meta comment - downvote so it doesn't appear in the discussion) Kill the name calling. We all agree on the ethical standing of these peeps. No need to state it, let's keep HN authoritative and professional. Great list of the witnesses though - really eye opening as to who they allow in.
- philwelch 15y agoQuick clarification: Stephen Lord doesn't work for DHS, he works for GAO, which is an agency established by Congress to maintain, as the title says, "government accountability". His jurisdiction is over DHS. This isn't to say he's a good guy, since GAO is mostly bean counters, but there it is.
- jimmar 15y agoWhen the GAO issues a report saying that your department is ineffective, people listen. They may be bean counters, but they are fairly well respected bean counters. The reports that I have read really help identify problems in government entities.
