If Chertoff Calls This “Success,” I Dread to Comprehend His Definition of “Failure” February 25, 2008

Violence Against Border Agents Viewed As Sign of Success
Violence against Border Patrol agents — including attempts to run them over and behead them with wire — increased by almost a third in 2007, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Friday.
He interpreted the increased violence as an indicator that the border is becoming more secure, a point he also made three years ago in the face of escalating violence.
I suppose if the murder rate in a given city is going up, that means that crime control measures are working. If poverty is going up, then welfare is a success. If there are more car wrecks, then the cops are diligently enforcing speed limits. If your lights don’t come on, then the electric company has done its job. If nobody in the crowd laughs, then the comedian’s joke was really hilarious.
