The Irony Files, Pt. II

I couldn't resist this one.

Last week it was a DHS official caught using undocumented help. Then later the same week, we hear that DHS Cabinet Secretary, Michael Chertoff has had undocumented workers cleaning his house. Presumably because he cannot afford to pay enough to attract legal workers.

Today I came across this little gem from the Washington Post entitled "Kidnap Consultant Taken in Mexico" by William Booth.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 15
-- An American anti-kidnapping negotiator, whose company says he has resolved almost 100 kidnapping cases in Latin America, was abducted by gunmen last week -- while meeting with Mexican business executives and their bodyguards to discuss ways to thwart such crimes.

Get the rest of the story here.

No word on who is negotiating the negotiator's release.
