The formation of the department of Homeland security was extremely controversial. Most Democrats didn't want to pass it since it is functionally an army with no oversight that reports to the president, the aspiring war criminal George W. Bush. But then letters filled with anthrax went out to several legislators, including Patrick Lehey and Tom Daschle. 5 people died and 17 were injured. Dems buttoned that bill up, in a panic, real fucking quick.
Later after the department was created the source of the anthrax was determined. The source of the anthrax was a bunker that Saddam Hussein had been hiding in.
Nah just kidding, it came from an Army base in Ft. Dietrich, Maryland.
