Now let's go

to Washington for an update.

As war on terrorism escalates,

Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security

Charles Keefe embarks on a seven-day

tour of Southern port cities,

starting tomorrow. You may

recall that four months ago,

Keefe sent shock waves through

the department after he made remarks

during his first press conference.

The storm's moved on.

No, there's time.

- Thank you for your patience, sir.

- Yeah, right.

Come on, we gotta move it, bro.
