The more exposure all this brings to light the better. They have been abusing their powers since they gained total control of our government. They know that they can get away with anything because they figured there would be no over-sight, no accountability, no investigations.

Well, so they thought, but they thought wrong.

Here's another excellent story about some of the cover-ups, like the DPS destroying records of their involvement.

In the early hours of the search, a DPS lieutenant called a federal Homeland Security Department agency that tracks terrorists and smugglers, seeking the whereabouts of Mr. Laney's plane.
Late last week, Homeland Security officials released a partial transcript of that call and said the DPS officer had misled them into believing the plane had crashed.
Democrats have demanded a full transcript of the DPS call, saying that would illuminate whether federal authorities were misused or acted in good faith.

Thursday morning, Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee, again declined to release that transcript, citing an internal investigation by the department's inspector general.

"This is now potentially a criminal investigation. The tapes are part of the evidentiary chain. We are involved in a criminal investigation involving information and pieces of evidence that are not necessarily available for public review right now," he said.

Does anyone know what investigations Homeland Security has conducted concerning this subject?
I haven't heard anything about one, wonder where they are in the investigation?
