Abolish DHS

An interesting blog post from Bruce Schneier. The Cato Institute (a rather right-leaning think tank) published a paper calling for the abolition of the DHS and the restructuring of its constituent agencies into groups that make more sense.

What I thought most interesting is that a group of Congressional Republicans had come up with what seems to be a well-thought out restructuring idea.

Perhaps the people in DC are finally realizing that something needs to be done.

Some of comments in reply to that article are outstanding.

I'll sign on to supporting this effort.

I'd call Cato more libertarian than right-leaning. They upset the left with consistent small-government ideology... and the right with their disinterest in nation-building or engineering social values. Calling for abolition of DHS is right in line with their core philosophy.

And their philosophy is non-germane. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
