WASHINGTON - President Bush on Tuesday chose federal appeals court judge Michael Chertoff to be his new Homeland Security chief, turning to a former federal prosecutor who helped craft the early war on terror strategy.

<snip>

Chertoff and his wife, Meryl, each donated $1,000 to Bush's first presidential campaign.

So now it only takes $2000 to get a cabinet position?

BTW - his "help" at crafting the early war on terror strategy included participation with the USA PATRIOT Act....oh super! Attorney General Tourturer and Homeland Security Director No Need for Civil Liberties or Freedoms.....what a scary bunch of guys about to be making serious decisions....
