[deminks]

Government watchdog CREW today released a report, Homeland Security for Sale — DHS: Five Years of Mismanagement, “detailing massive failures and billions wasted at the Department of Homeland Security.” Some highlights:

– $24 billion has been spent, and at least $178 million wasted, on the failed Coast Guard Deepwater program;

– over $600 million has been allocated for unworkable radiation border scanners;

– $1.3 billion has been lost on the USVISIT program, which was never fully implemented; and

– projected $2 billion loss on the SBInet “virtual fence” border program.

1. If/when this Administration leaves office, it will be very interesting to see...

just how mismanaged the entire country has been. Scares the crap outta me just thinking about what will be uncovered.

3. Yeah, what's getting reported now is probably the tip of the iceberg.

2. Why do I get an image in my head of DHS directors rolling around on gigantic piles of cash?

Probably because they are. The DHS is just another way for Bush to steal our money and give it to his have-more friends.
