Homeland Security Department Homeland Security
We tried that experiment in the wake of Sept. 11, cramming a host of agencies into one oversize Homeland Security Department. The challenge is to make the Homeland Security Department work, not to siphon away its powers and give them to other agencies. Recommending new structural changes is politically expedient because it diverts attention away from the real problem and the failures of Homeland Security under Secretary Michael Chertoff and the Federal Emergency Management Agency under Michael Brown.
