The Case for Abolishing the DHS
Talk about sensationalist news. "The Case for Abolishing the DHS".<p>It may be one of the scariest departments in the government right now, but it serves a fundamental purpose: to secure the nation from the many threats we face. *<a href="http://www.dhs.gov/about-dhs" rel="nofollow">http://www.dhs.gov/about-dhs</a>).  It should be steered back towards protection (and probably toward creating a better mission statement as well), not dismantled.<p>When dealing with code and servers, sometimes you have to delete something and start over and it usually sucks to have to do it; imagine how bad it would be with an entire DEPARTMENT of the government.  The article states that there are 15 vacancies at the top: this is an opportunity.  Update it, fill it with new, ethical, honest leadership and it could be everything it was originally meant to be.<p>Shame on Businessweek for adding nothing to the discourse but for an emotional headline.
