This Homeland is Your Land - Forget about whether the new Department of Homeland Security should swallow up the CIA and the FBI, it's the name we don't like! That's the opinion of Peg Noonan and Mickey Kaus, anyway. I tend to agree. The term "Homeland" does tend to conjure up images out of a Leni Riefenstahl movie. It never bothered me when it was attached to Tom Ridge, since it's hard to picture that man as being much of a threat. (Al Qaeda probably feels the same way; where's the "Draft Rudy" website?) Now that this little White House office could grow to become one of the largest cabinet departments, I'm starting to feel a bit differently.
