Sitting Down With Chertoff

Posted by: Rob Bluey In: Politics

I was one of a handful of bloggers invited to interview Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff yesterday at DHS headquarters in Washington. I asked him about a variety of issues, including the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, compliance with Real ID and the prospects of immigration reform in 2008. You can check out the videos I’ve put together below.

I filed reports for The Foundry and RedState. Others in attendance included David Venturella of Security Debrief, Anne Broache of CNET and Jonah Czerwinski of Homeland Security Watch.

This was Chertoff’s second meeting with bloggers. Unfortunately, I missed the first because of a conflict, but I hope he does these regularly. He’s setting a great example for other Cabinet secretaries.

Well in recent moves, Chertoff has said that he will disregard about 80 so laws that were slowing down the construction of the border fence. They could very well finish off most of the border fence by the end of Bush’s term in office.

Just saw two helicopters flying over Thurmont, MD. I wonder if the Obamas are visiting Camp David?

What idiot decided it was a good idea to do road work on the George Washington Parkway midday Friday? http://yfrog.com/15rsjj

@MelissaTweets Nope, I'm in Atlanta. Don't think there's a Chick-fil-A at Reagan.

Took a detour to terminal A. Nothing is better than a Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit for breakfast. http://yfrog.com/0vgjyj
