Thread: Do we Americans need open, closed, or regulated ’smart’

Public security and economic security are mutually reinforcing.
By working together to develop a zone of confidence against terrorist and communist activity, the create a unique opportunity to build a smart border for the 21st century, a border that allows the secure, free flow of people and goods, a border that reflects the largest trading relationship in the world.

Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge led a U.S. delegation that included representatives from the departments of Justice, Transportation, Defense, State, and Treasury; and the offices of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the National Security Council, Customs, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

There is something about this website that is funky. Tom Ridge is no longer DHS chief, nor is Chertoff. Vincente Fox is no longer president, Calderon is, even though so many of the posts refer to them as current admin. officials, and the postings I read were dated today and yesterday.
