Tandy Sworn in As First Female DEA Chief

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- Karen P. Tandy was sworn in Tuesday as the first woman to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration, which is expected to shoulder more of the antidrug workload with the FBI's renewed focus on terrorism.

Tandy, a former prosecutor and Justice Department official, said her main goal is for the DEA to work on dismantling drug organizations completely, from their smugglers to their top commanders to their money handlers.

The DEA's roughly 4,600 agents are expected to grow in the coming years as the FBI handles fewer and fewer drug cases. Tandy said the agency, criticized by a recent White House report as not focused on its core mission, will meet the challenge.

"The American people expect more from us, and we will deliver in the weeks and months to come," Tandy said.

1. Typical Pandering

to bring in the Repug women's vote for Shrubs re-thefting as seen by these statements:

"If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman," Ashcroft said.

As if AssCrack really believes this. IMHO he hates women by virtue of the Right-Wing Fundie Fungi he believes in.

"Karen will bring her compassion and resolve to our struggle against drugs."
