President Obama is set to appoint Jeh Johnson to head DHS. Napolitano was a bumbling idiot but this guy is trouble and has already shown his colors working for the DOD. We need an experienced law enforcement officer who has a proven record that has risen thru the ranks or has lead a large law enforcement organization, not some Obama wild card. Quote: Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., criticized Obama for nominating a "loyalist and fundraiser" to lead what he called a "mismanaged" department.
"This is deeply concerning," Sessions said. "This huge department must have a proven manager with strong relevant law enforcement experience, recognized independence and integrity, who can restore this department to its full capability."
Johnson, who left his Pentagon post in 2012, also provided legal guidance in the use of unmanned drones against terrorism suspects overseas, and in the use of military commissions - rather than civilian courts - to try suspects.
During a speech at Britain's Oxford University last year, Johnson said that the nation's war on terrorism should not be endless, and the focus should shift to law enforcement and intelligence operations.
