Doesn't Homeland Security Do Background Checks on NASA Employees?
George C. Deutsch, the young presidential appointee at NASA who told public affairs workers to limit reporters' access to a top climate scientist and told a Web designer to add the word "theory" at every mention of the Big Bang, resigned yesterday, agency officials said. Mr. Deutsch's resignation came on the same day that officials at Texas A&M University confirmed that he did not graduate from there, as his résumé on file at the agency asserted.

Birds of a Feather Still Flocking Together
Presidential assistant Donald Rumsfeld, right,
and his deputy Richard Cheney meet with reporters at the White House in
Washington, D.C., in this Thursday, Nov. 7, 1975 file photo. Rumsfeld was
named by President Ford to replace James Schlesinger as Secretary of
Defense and Cheney was to replace Rumsfeld.
Newly disclosed historic government documents obtained by the Associated
Press include one with startling similarity to Washington's current
atmosphere over disclosures of classified information by the
media....George H.W. Bush, then director of the CIA, wanted to ensure "no
unnecessary diminution of collection of important foreign intelligence"
under the proposal to require judges to approve terror wiretaps, according
to a March 1976 memorandum he wrote to the Justice Department. Bush also
complained that some major communications companies were unwilling to
install government wiretaps without a judge's approval. Such a refusal
"seriously affects the capabilities of the intelligence community," Bush
wrote.
I don't remember the president admonishing the public on its oil "addiction" when he worked at oil companies like Harken or Arbusto, which is Spanish for "bush." Vice President Dick Cheney was chief executive officer of Halliburton, a very large oil and gas services company. This is, I remind you, the only administration whose secretary of state once had an oil tanker named after her.
