From the AP:

President Bush has chosen veteran prosecutor Ken Wainstein to be his new White House-based homeland security adviser, The Associated Press has learned….

He currently heads the Justice Department’s anti-terror efforts. He has also been the top federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia, and the top lawyer at the FBI.

Funny that the appointment should come one day after Newsweek publishes a story on the White House’s “friggin’ embarrassing” inability to fill the post.
