Bush's People Wanted to CUT Explosives Detection Money

This is freaking unbelievable:

While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology

Congressional leaders rejected the idea, the latest in a series of steps by the
Homeland Security Department that has left lawmakers and some of the department's own experts questioning the commitment to create better anti-terror technologies.

Homeland Security's research arm, called the Sciences & Technology Directorate, is a "rudderless ship without a clear way to get back on course," Republican and Democratic senators on the Appropriations Committee declared recently.

Remember folks, it's Bush and his people who

• STILL haven't implemented comprehensive cargo searches for ship-borne loads coming into the U.S.
• Recently cut back homeland security funds for New York and Washington.
• Issued an idiotic list of thousands of "terror targets" that earned universal ridicule.
• Used the color-coded alert system as a political tool in 2004.

My God...when will EVERYONE see through these people?
