Salting the Bureaucracy

This article discusses how the Department of Homeland Security is placing careerists in high positions to ensure a smooth transition to the next administration.

That sounds good on the surface, but I suspect that there is a darker motive behind it. I suspect that within the so-called "career civil servants" being placed into these positions, that there are a significant number of Bush loyalists and right-wing ideologues. These moles are likely not limited to DHS, but are probably salted through the entire Federal bureaucracy.

The next administration will have to spend a considerable amount of effort in finding and removing the hidden Wingnuts.
