Coordinate is the key word here. Against the recommendations of the recent commission on national security chaired by former Senators Gary Hart and Warren Rudman, Ridge will not be in charge of a superagency into which have been folded operational arms of the Federal Government like FEMA. That may be a mistake. If there is one thing more depressing than the number of reports on homeland security, it is the unanimity of their conclusions. At present, coordination simply doesn't happen; homeland defense is a patchwork quilt made by an inept seamstress. Some stories would be funny if they weren...
...President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich created the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century, which I co-chaired with Warren Rudman, to propose a new national security framework. We concluded that America would become increasingly vulnerable to terrorist attacks, and that Americans would likely die on American soil, possibly in large numbers.

The sign that he was relaxing was when he took his jacket off. He and a few close aides would watch the news, and night after night, there would be a quick, inevitably oversimplified report about him…Christopher would watch silently, then say that it had not been their best day, but they would all be back...
...plus agencies that share antiterrorism responsibility, as well as their patrons on Capitol Hill. Bureaucracies have a long history of outlasting the "czars" who are brought in to oversee them. "I know a great number of these guys who were czars--energy, drugs," says former Senator Warren Rudman, the Republican co-chairman of a blue-ribbon commission on terrorism. "They start out with great fanfare, but pretty soon the President gets busy, and they're talking to a staff assistant...
