Help Wanted: Why Can't Bush Fill Two Top Terror Jobs? - UPDATE
Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball write on Newsweek.com:
The Bush administration has been rebuffed in its efforts to find a high-profile candidate to fill the top White House counterterrorism post.More here.
The failure to find a successor to Frances Fragos Townsend, who resigned last January as assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, has frustrated White House aides, given the significance the Bush administration has attached to the job. The position involves coordinating antiterrorism and homeland security efforts throughout the government and chairing the Homeland Security Council, a domestic counterpart to the National Security Council that President Bush created after the September 11 attacks.
UPDATE: 14:32 PDT: The Associated Press reports that one of these positions has now been filled. And as this Reuters article points out, he has a "wiretap background." -ferg
