Janet Napolitano: Homeland Security Is Always ‘Leaning Forward’

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano popped into Good Morning America this week to discuss what her department was doing to prevent further terrorist plots against the U.S. They’re waiting for tips, building partnerships and… watching Keith Olbermann? “We’re always leaning forward,” Napolitano said, echoing MSNBC’s Lean Forward campaign.

When she was asked if the Department of Homeland Security could expect more terrorist plot-foiling tips, Napolitano answered:

I think we can. And we always presume that we should. And that’s why we’re always leaning forward, thinking about what the next plot could be, making the partnerships more and more robust…

Leaning and thinking may not sound like the most active strategy, but it’s much better than Glenn Beck‘s “bend over” suggestion.
