Fighting Them Over There

Huh. Our Homeland Security Secretary is in Afghanistan:

US Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has arrived in Afghanistan for talks with Afghan officials and to spend the New Year's holiday with American troops.

A statement issued from her office in Washington said Napolitano arrived early Friday in Kabul with US customs and border security officials to help provide civilian assistance to local officials.

While in Afghanistan, she will meet with senior US and Afghan officials on border security issues.

It's almost like we need to fight them over there lest we be compelled to cope with them over here. I'm just a tad concerned, since she might be taking notes about our troops over there in light of her earlier worries about just who "them" really are.

I'd be happier if our secretary would visit the US-Mexican border more often to assist securing that border.
