A report summary released Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security concluded that the Secret Service needs more money, more staff, more training, and an outsider at the helm, among other necessary changes, to adequately fulfill its core mission of protecting the president.The investigation that produced the report, conducted by a team of outside experts, was commissioned in the wake of a security breach at the White House on September 19, when a man jumped the fence and made it all the way into the executive mansion before he was apprehended by agents. That incident, coupled with earlier missteps by the agency, prompted the resignation of then-Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.

Harris has been under mounting pressure from some Republicans to get out of the race because of concerns that she cannot win and that her role as Florida s secretary of state during the 2000 presidential recount could motivate Democrats and independents to go to the polls. The decision to put her own fortune on the line at least temporarily puts her on even financial ground with Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, who began the year with $8 million in his campaign account compared to Harris $1 million.Harris had failed to meet fundraising goals, largely because GOP leaders in Washington didn t openly embrace her campaign after she entered the race last summer. Her campaign became more difficult after a defense contractor involved in a bribery scandal said he gave $32,000 in illegal contributions to her 2004 campaign for the House.Mitchell Wade, the former president of MZM Inc., also pleaded guilty to bribing former U.S. Rep.

It has puzzled some in the diplomatic community since it occurred on Dec. 5, 2006. Why, after being undercut for years by the former United Nations secretary general, did President Bush host a lovey-dovey retirement dinner for Kofi Annan In his tough-talking memoir, John Bolton, the conservative firebrand given a recess appointment as ambassador to the U.N., explains that Annan pestered Bush until it happened.In Surrender Is Not an Option, Bolton reveals that during a September 2006 trip to the U.N., Bush vaguely offered an invitation to a farewell event at the White House. Bush probably dropped that thought immediately, but Annan didn t.
