Demand the Firing of DHS Sec. Napolitano

E-mail to Congress:

EIN News says, "U.S. Struggles Anew to Ensure Air Safety As Gaps Are Revealed. A review of government audits and interviews with experts inside and outside the government shows that the system has been slow to make even bigger changes because of a balky bureaucracy, fickle politics and, at times, airline industry opposition. It has also squandered tens of millions of dollars on faulty technology, like high-tech "puffer" machines that repeatedly broke down and flunked the most basic test: they failed to detect some explosives. (nytimes.com)".

These failures are not the fault of technology. They are the fault of ideology. If one does not have a clear understanding of the problem, no amount of successful technology will be able to solve it.

A prime example is the Christmas day attempt to destroy passengers and an airplane traveling from Amsterdam to the US. Homeland Security Sec. Napolitano is the typical example of confused ideology. She said that the security system worked. The adjunct of that is nobody will be held responsible for an obvious failure to protect the American public. The system will not be modified, because it is already claimed to be effective. The perpetrator will likely be given a slap on the wrist. Al Qaeda will be encouraged to continue its terrorist activities, because government officials appear to have no understanding of what's really going on.

How ridiculous can one get? Are you in Congress a pawn of the Obama Administration or an effective part of the US government? If the latter, you and your associates should be immediately demanding the firing of Homeland Security Sec. Napolitano as being mentally unfit to perform the duties of her responsibility. Notice that I said "firing", rather than asking for her resignation. She deserves no respect in this episode.
