Ministry of Homeland Security Flunkey Steps Down

I don’t mean to be hard on Fran Townsend. I’m sure she’s a nice person. On the other hand, she may not be a nice person, as she is the former Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, New York, that is to say she sent a lot of people to prison.

“President Bush’s top adviser on homeland security is stepping down after 4½ years on the job, the White House said Monday,” reports CNN. “Homeland Security Adviser Fran Townsend turned in her letter of resignation to President Bush on November 6 and will be looking for new opportunities outside government.”

“I’m going to just take another job doing 20-hour days, but this time in the private sector,” said Townsend, attempting to make a funny.

“Fran has always provided wise counsel on how to best protect the American people from the threat of terrorism,” said Bush in a statement, that is to say a statement whipped up by one of his neocon aides. “We are safer today because of her leadership.”

Yadda yadda yadda.

In fact, Fran was put in the position because the neocons were grooming her for the AG position, that is until they decided to put Mike “Bill of Rights Destroyer” Mukasay in there.

“Townsend’s job, as the president’s top adviser on fighting terrorism, involved identifying terrorist groups around the globe and assessing their threat, and finding ways to track and cut off their funding. She said that experience should will be useful in the private sector as well.”

In other words, Fran talked with the CIA a lot. Most terrorist groups are created whole cloth by the CIA, MI6, the Mossad, and affiliated intelligence agencies and organizations. Small time terror groups are sort of like a disorganized street gang compared to a well-oiled Mafia operation. In other words, they don’t stand a chance in hell and certainly Fran does not need to be bothered by them.

“Townsend — the mother of two, ages 6 and 12 — said she first will look into public speaking, writing and board work before pursuing opportunities in global risk management for a large multinational corporation or financial institution.”

In other words, Fran will fatten up her bank account on the speaking circuit and then, like no shortage of government flunkies before her, find her place in the corporate world. No doubt she will do well, as “security” predicated on fake and over-dramatized terror is a growth business.

I should have been kinder to Fran. But the point is she has helped the neocons destroy the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. And now she will be wearing a corporate pantsuit for her effort and “earning” six figures or more.

Honestly, she should be wearing an orange jumpsuit.
