"Partisan wrangling"? How is that NPOV, please? --Eloquence 16:20 Nov 26, 2002 (UTC)
- Good catch. Corrected. Thanks. --Ed Poor
Question: I am not sure I remember. Did Bush get his way on the employee thing? Was the constitutional challenge link supposed to indicate that the ACLU was challenging them on that specific issue? If this is the case, someone should put this statement in the text of the article.
- Yep, of course Bush got his way.

could someone working on this article please incorporate this news item? [1] (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=564&ncid=564&e=33&u=/nm/20030524/ts_nm/life_town_dc) Kingturtle 19:44 24 May 2003 (UTC)
Re: The new Homeland Security infobox:
The sources for the budget and employee figures is an article published by FOXNEWS.com (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,70974,00.html ). The employee figure (164,184) was rearched by adding up the employee figures of each department going into the DHS.

is the scary animated GIF on this USPTO page (http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/ahrpa/opa/pulse/epulse/pulse0204_home.htm) anything to do w/ the dep't, or is it just generic homeland security? it should be preserved for posterity in any case. Kwantus 17:51, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Who initiated the change, the blues or reds
This article seem to say that democrats initiated the creation of DHS. I was under the impression DHS is purely the work of conservatives. Anyway, i think that is worth highlighting in the main article. "President Bush, resistant to early entreaties by Democrats to create the department after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, eventually embraced the idea -- but insisted on freedom from many existing civil service laws in assembling the new bureaucracy." [2] (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A39934-2005Jan26?language=printer)
- The Democrats came up with the idea and pushed for it, and the Republicans opposed it. Then, just before the 2002 midterms, the Republicans removed workers rights protection fro the propsal and pushed for it, so they could look good in the elections and the Dems would look bad by having to fight their creation to protect its workers. Typical Republicans, playing election-day-grab with national securty.
