Brett Winterble: SWAT teams should always use overwhelming deadly force

I am really starting to think that we are indeed a blood thirsty nation. Maybe we do not have the gladiators fighting the lions or the lions eating the Christians, yet. But it is not clear to me how much further we need to go to get there. Just let one of them vocal bible thumpers show up at a ‘being gay is a big deal’ parade and they might rather face a big puddy tat rather than a bunch of mostly naked and painted twinks acting like heathens.

Look at the country’s interest in and acceptance of violence on TV and in the media. Much of it gratuitous violence. We have leaders who start wars which kill tens if not hundreds of thousands and we are so insulated at home it does not impact us. Or is it we just don’t care?

Then at home we all the violence of the street. We let illegal aliens roam at will through our society, creating mayhem. We accept gang behavior as normal. Drive by shootings hardly make the paper. Violent illegal drug trade is rampant yet we do not close our borders.

To top it off, we support the use of surveillance cameras and unmanned planes, warrantless wire taps, seizure of assets, warrantless searches of our premises, etc. Yes, all this on ourselves, by the government. And if the police are trained by Blackwater mercenaries then that is OK too. Sixty years ago, swat is what you did to flies. Now we have specially trained legalized gangs we call SWAT teams. And we are OK with that. SWAT teams are used for everything from potentially lethal hostage situations to ensuring kids get their vaccinations and removing a child from the home of loving parents so the kid can get yet another medical exam.

Then there is all that fantastic new technology from energy waves which create pain, to shotguns firing multiple rounds of exploding ammunition per second, surveillance cameras, unmanned aircraft, etc. All this technology paid for by our forced contributions to the government. We think all this in the hands of the police and the military makes us safer. Safer from?

Obviously this technology in the hands of the government can be turned against us at a moments notice. The SOB (Son Of a Bush) has seen to it that he has the undisputed power to do so. So when SWAT teams are called out to handle a situation I get very antsy. The deployment of these killers are generally at one person’s command with little, if any, oversight. Yet we are OK with that. I realize that there are times when lethal force must be met with lethal force in society and that is one of the generally recognized responsibilities of government. But I fear that with our propensity for the glorification of violence we are setting up the mechanism which can destroy our democratic republic.

So when Brett Winterble starts wailing because a police chief wants to take another look at SWAT teams under his command and determine if they need to be so violent all the time, then I just want to tell Winterble to shut-up and THINK for a moment. Yes, we do not want those who we have designated to assist in protecting society neutered but on the other hand we want them to be very circumspect regarding their actions. Unfortunately, in the heat of the moment, individuals resort to their training and their training, it seems, too often is obey and use maximal force.

Here then is Winterble’s article dated 3/19 from humanevents.com entitled “The Softer Side of SWAT“:

Disclaimer: The following is true; the names have not been changed, to embarrass the guilty.

There are few adjective-noun combinations that you want to avoid at all costs, drunken pilots, sleepy surgeons, happy Democrats — well, add one more to that list — softer SWAT Teams {Winterble sets up his straw man then proceeds to discredit it. A very old tactic used by reporters who are too damn lazy to write a more thoughtful and useful article.

Southern California is arguably the most dangerous area of the country for law enforcement officers to work. The tens of thousands of police officers operating here understand that every call they get could be their last. {Blank out on why it is dangerous. Just accept the violence Winterble, it is easier than actually thinking.} That reality was underscored on February 7, when two members of the LAPD Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit attempted a hostage rescue from a gun wielding gang member and were shot and wounded — one remains hospitalized, one was killed {I have not researched this incident but why did two highly trained government killers get shot by some gang banger? Who was conducting this operation?} That officer was the first killed in the entire history of the LAPD SWAT team {Hint, that shows how infrequently they do get killed. This is good. But Winterble is making it sound like being on a SWAT team is a death sentence. It is not, normally.}: they are that good {OK, so then Winterble starts talking about the risks.} Cops in and around LA understand the risks, but they also understand that if things get hot, the SWAT team will be there to take care of the situation. In Los Angeles, when LAPD SWAT rolls up, bad guys know they have a world of hurt coming down on their heads. {Exactly my point. Who are the bad guys? Those who oppose the laws set down by those in authority to do so. Like the SOB at a stroke of a pen.}

This is why the recent report that the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team was looking to soften up {I doubt seriously they used the term ’soften up’.} — not their image, but their membership — comes as a shock. The Los Angeles Daily News, reported on March 18 that Police Chief William Bratton (the same Bill Bratton who tamed Manhattan and the 4 boroughs of New York during the 1990s) had received a report from the Los Angeles Police Commission recommending that LAPD SWAT end the 'insular culture' (read male-dominated culture) on the SWAT team, and for the department to soften {Winterble just loves that term…show where in the report they used it!} standards to admit females into the unit. The report said that male SWAT members tended to “under-emphasize negotiating skills, patience, empathy and flexibility while over-emphasizing physical prowess and tactical acumen.” {EXACTLY MY POINT, WINTERBLE!} That's right: the SWAT Team is too tough for Tinsel town. {Think Winterble, think!}

Excuse me, but doesn't LAPD have a whole team dedicated to negotiation, patience and empathy (I mean, in addition to the mayor's office)? And isn’t the whole point of a SWAT team to be a weapon to use when all else fails? {The $100,000 question is, ARE THEY?! They are not, if you will just become knowledgeable on the subject. Could it be that better integration of the ‘touchy feelly’ with the brute force would be wise? It would have stopped the overreaching by the Denver SWAT team!}

Let's keep it simple enough for even an LA pol to understand. When SWAT gets called its because someone has been or is about to be killed. PERIOD. {NO, THIS IS PATENTLY FALSE. I thought reporters were supposed to be somewhat knowledgeable about the subject matter they are witting about. Obviously, Winterble is not.} They are the tip of the spear for law enforcement. They need to be intimidating. They don't need to empathize with the killer or would-be killer barricaded in the 3-year-old’s bedroom. {BUT THEY NEED TO THINK!}

I can imagine the improved, softer {Give it a rest…another straw man in the making.} SWAT team now. A Prius rolls up with a well meaning looking psychologist stepping out, with a megaphone, asking if the hostage-taking cretin would like to talk about his childhood. Imagine the scene, as shots ring out, the well meaning SWAT therapist could shout out "excuse me, Mr. Criminal, we understand your rage, could you please um, come out and talk.…. if you want to of course, its up to you, we are here to PROTECT and SERVE you. Did you want a decaf skim latte?" Perhaps if they needed to escalate the situation, she could declare sternly, "Don't make me come up there mister. If I have to ask again, you'll not get any TV in the jail day room." Sure it's stupid, but is it any dumber than a softened SWAT?

Bill Bratton has apparently been flooded — not by SWAT members angry at the proposed change, but by the wives of SWAT members! These women understand better than Chief Bratton the reality of the mean streets of LA, SWAT is not a social petry dish, or a place to work out affirmative action issues, it's a place to chase, stop and catch the bad guys –and softening the standards will result in more deaths — of officers and civilians alike. I can't wait to see what they have in mind for the Navy's SEAL teams and the Marine Corps. {For reporters I think they are recommending new standards which Winterble would not be able to meet. Like thoughtful and intelligent reporting.}

Joseph Farah bitch slaps Ron Paul’s Cheif of Staff, Tom Lizardo

Last week, WorldNetDaily published the first of what were to be future weekly columns written by Ron Paul. Today, we learn that the deal has been, according to WorldNetDaily, abrogated by Dr. Paul’s congressional staff. Apparently Joseph Farah felt he was personally slighted as well, so he made the rupture public. All-in-all a sad situation but not that surprising for as posted previously in Red Pills, Farah, in October, 2007 seemed to endorse the Huckster. We really should pull it together people and be civil within the ranks. With McCain the Republican anointed one, we will need to be battening down the hatches. Stormy seas ahead.

Here is the worldnetdaily.com article posted 3/20 entitled “Ron Paul staff reneges on column deal; Agreement dropped shortly after congressman’s 1st op-ed piece runs”:

The congressional staff of Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, has reneged on an agreement it had struck with WorldNetDaily to run the congressman’s weekly column, which means WND will not carry the Paul commentary in the future.

Said WND CEO and Editor Joseph Farah: “Ron Paul’s office made an explicit and exclusive agreement with WND to carry the congressman’s weekly column. But within 48 hours after the first column ran, his office was reneging on that agreement. Since we had already publicly announced the column, promising it to our readers, and now Rep. Paul’s office is breaking that agreement, WND has no choice but to make a public statement to explain why we will not be carrying the congressman’s column.

“Ron Paul has a long and honorable record of congressional service,” added Farah, “but his subordinates are not serving him well. In particular, his chief of staff, Tom Lizardo, was uncooperative and rude when I called him to try to straighten out this mess. Normally, those who break agreements attempt to be conciliatory about it. Not Lizardo. He was not even interested in finding an amicable solution to the dilemma he created and the compact he violated.”

Congress went on vaction without securing our borders!

Hey, Utahns! Chris Cannon and Rob Bishop signed the discharge petition for HR 4088 (SAVE Act). This, even though when I called Bishop one of his staff members said he would not sign it. I will bet repeated calls and public interest changed his mind. Chris Cannon finally does something, even if it be small so far, about illegal aliens. Guess these guys saw the handwriting on the wall based, in part, on the legislation passed by the Utah Legislators in 2008.

Utahns note: Jim Matheson DID NOT sign the discharge petition. When he gets back in town, be sure you ask him why and express your displeasure. There are several Democrat signers of the petition. Matheson is putting his party over his constituents! This is one reason we have the mess in Washington that we have. We must convince Matheson that his re-election is dependent upon Utahns, not Pelosi. There is no better time to confront Matheson on his inaction than in person during the spring recess. It is up to you!!

Here is an Action Alert email I received on 3/19 by Carmen Mercer of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps entitled “CONGRESS WENT ON VACATION WITHOUT SECURING OUR BORDERS”:

Congress left Washington on Friday without passing the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088), which would secure our borders and strengthen our employer enforcement laws. We now have 2 more weeks to pressure our elected representatives in passing this important bill in April, upon their return from the Easter Recess.

Speaker Pelosi and her cronies appear to be winning this battle and we cannot allow them to win—a win for Pelosi and company will result in the defeat of the SAVE Act and passage of their new amnesty bill. Before Congress left town, 181 Congressmen signed the discharge petition, which requires 218 signatures in order to bring the bi-partisan bill to a vote on the House floor.

While they are on recess, you can expect Congressmen and Senators alike to hold town hall meetings, appear on local radio shows and attend public events. You must take advantage of this opportunity IN PERSON and demand that they secure our borders and enforce the immigration laws when they return to work in April.

Especially if you are unable to personally visit with your Congressman and Senators during these next two weeks, you need to flood their Capitol Hill offices with phone calls, faxes and e-mails demanding the same. At least 37 more Congressmen still need to sign the discharge petition in order to force a floor vote in early April and YOUR actions will make the difference.

We are making good progress, but few House Democrats are still willing to oppose Pelosi and sign the discharge petition. Unless House Democrats hear from more of their constituents, we will lose our opportunity to secure the border and strengthen our country's lax immigration laws THIS YEAR.

As of this writing, only 181 Congressmen have added their names to the discharge petition in hopes of moving the SAVE Act to a vote. Some original co-sponsors of this bill have not added their names to the petition, for fear of reprisals by the House Democratic Leadership and the Open Borders Lobby.

Since there are still many Members of Congress who have not already signed the discharge petition, only the communications they receive from voters TODAY will compel them to act in the best interest of their country, not their political party. Send them an immediate fax and demand that they put America's safety and security above their loyalty to a corrupt political agenda that seeks to give jobs, amnesty, and taxpayer funded social services to illegal aliens.

Speaker Pelosi and her colleagues oppose a vote on the SAVE ACT because it will undermine their efforts to pass their new 5 year Amnesty plan. Media reports indicate that they have been secretly peddling their amnesty bill in the smoke-filled rooms of Congress in order to vote on the amnesty bill later this Spring.

It is vitally important that ALL Congressmen who have not already signed the petition hear from their constituents, especially since Pelosi's henchmen are attempting to strong-arm Democrats that support the SAVE ACT, and indefinitely prevent a vote from occurring. With 37 more signatures, the discharge petition would expedite passage of the SAVE ACT (H.R. 4088), circumvent the obstacles created by the House Democrat Leadership AND provide another victory for the WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Please select here to fax Congressmen who co-sponsored the SAVE ACT
but HAVE NOT signed the discharge petition!

We must immediately muster strong grassroots support to pass the SAVE Act NOW! President Bush, Senate Leader Reid, House Speaker Pelosi and ALL of their colleagues must feel the pressure from millions of voters!

The implementation of the SAVE ACT will greatly reduce the number of corporations who knowingly provide jobs to illegal aliens, and as a result, who provide illegal aliens with an unfair advantage over American citizens and legal foreign workers. Citizens should not have to keep working harder only to reap diminished results and fewer benefits—while our feckless government and greedy corporations reward the criminal behavior of illegal aliens successfully cheating the system SUBSIDIZED by hard-working U.S. taxpayers!

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD IN WASHINGTON AND AMONG THE POLITICAL DECISION-MAKERS TODAY!

Select here to see the GOOD GUYS—Members of Congress who are willing to put America's safety and security above the corrupt political system in Washington.

Let's make sure we get the necessary 218 signatures on the discharge petition NOW!

Securing our borders and enforcing the laws can become a reality in the 110th Congress ONLY IF we keep up the pressure on cowardly, weak-kneed politicians. They will ONLY do the right thing to protect and defend America if they hear from us MORE than they hear from the open borders lobby.

Keep calling your Congressmen today, toll free numbers include 1-877-851-6437 and 1-866-220-0044, or call toll 1-202-224-3121 AND REGISTER YOUR OUTRAGE at ongoing efforts to keep our country from enforcing its immigration laws!

If you send a fax to Congress today, we will also add your name to a thank you note being sent to the brave Members of Congress who signed the discharge petition in hopes of keeping America safe from dangers we invite into this country through our open borders.

If you can't afford to send a fax, we can still add your name to the thank you note.

Please select here to thank the Members of Congress who have signed the discharge petition.

DO NOT BE SILENCED—MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

Let's tell these politicians that ANY failure to pass the SAVE ACT would be a treasonous betrayal of our country! They are sworn to uphold the rights and duties of American citizenship—not undermine and debase them by allowing millions of illegal aliens to enter our country, destroy our sovereignty and steal our jobs!

You can make the difference by helping us to do the job our government refuses to do! Your support for MCDC's advocacy of this critical legislation is vital to our success, and I hope we can count on you to contact our Washington lawmakers TODAY!

John Lott, Jr.: Supreme Court to decide if 2nd Amendment to be treated like the rest of the Bill of Rights?

I posted SAF’s (Second Amendment Foundation) take on the oral arguments heard before the Supreme Court regarding the Heller v. DC case this past Tuesday (3/18). The SAF was enthusiastic regarding a positive outcome.

Well, on the way to work I took in about 15 minutes of the Glenn Beck radio show for Wednesday (3/19). Yes, I know, Beck is just a demagogue and he flips back and forth on issues just to cover all bases and make a buck. Calling Ron Paul a ‘nut case’ (or similar) and that Dr. Paul supporters were ‘terrorists’, apparently including our military. I have posted numerous times regarding my disgust with Beck.

But, I took another look at the Beck issue yesterday morning. If I totally ignore what the ignoramus says and just focus on some of the more interesting (one way or the other) guests he has on his radio show (I will not watch his TV show - besides dealing with the host, there too many commercials) then I actually get something out of his show. Case in point is Wednesday morning Beck had John Lott, Jr. on talking about the Heller v. DC case. Dr. Lott attended the oral arguments and he came away with information which increased my understanding of the case. Dr. Lott’s discussion augments and generally supports SAF’s contentions.

Thus, here is the transcript of the interview with Dr. Lott dated 3/19 entitled “Glenn Beck: More guns, less crime” {Beck even appropriates the title to Lott’s book…argghhhh!}:

GLENN: Let’s go to John Lott. He is the author of More Guns, Less Crime, the actual facts if you want to talk about it. John, welcome to the program. How are you, sir?

LOTT: Great to be back on, thanks.

GLENN: You bet. So tell me what happened yesterday in the Supreme Court and why everybody is so convinced that the Supreme Court is going to rule in favor of gun owners.

LOTT: Well, it’s an extremely important case. If the Supreme Court were to say that the D.C. gun ban doesn’t infringe on people’s right to be able to own a gun, essentially there would be no gun regulation that could ever be struck down and so a lot’s at stake at this. And the two questions that the Supreme Court is basically looking at, one, is it an individual right or not. And if it is, is it the same — should it be treated the same as the rest of the Bill of Rights. And it seems pretty clear from the discussion yesterday that a majority of the justices think it is an individual right. Even Ruth Bader Ginsberg, should be interested to see how NPR, begin what you’re just saying, would deal with that.

GLENN: She’s hot. {And Beck’s a moron.}

LOTT: Seems to believe it’s an individual right. Justice Kennedy came swinging right out at the beginning saying that this notion that somehow the Second Amendment was set up to go and guarantee government certain rights, you know, just didn’t make any sense to him. And so someone who you might normally think of as the swing vote, a key swing vote there seemed to be very solidly in the camp of saying that this is an individual right.

GLENN: Explain the two — explain the two things that are in front of — okay. First, is it an individual right, I got. The second one, if it is, should it be treated the same as the rest of the Bill of Rights?

LOTT: Right.

GLENN: Why wouldn’t it be?

LOTT: Well, you know, you and I would think the same way on that, but the Justice Department kind of threw a monkey wrench into this when they put their brief in a couple of months ago. They were arguing that, you know, words can’t really hurt people that much, guns can and so for example, just comparing the First and the Second Amendment, you shouldn’t give the same deference to the Second Amendment as you would to the First because more’s at risk there and you should be more willing to accept government regulation of guns because of that than regulation of free speech. And just so people understand, we’re really given constitutional decisions these days. Nobody’s really talking about not having regulations with guns. You take something like the First Amendment where it says congress shall make no laws. That seems pretty clear. But yet congress has — or the Supreme Court has gotten to the point where it said that if — what they are really saying is congress shall pass, make no laws unless it has a good reason for doing so and so we have things like campaign finance regulation. And the question is where do you set the bar in terms of saying how good do those reasons have to be. How compelling, how closely tied do you have to show that the regulation that you’re having is connected to the outcome that you want to produce. And the Justice Department worried that it might affect some of the gun regulations that it enforces, that it wants to have a sufficiently low standard that maybe even the D.C. gun ban would be able to pass constitutional muster. And —

GLENN: Wait a minute. Hang on, hang on. The DC gun ban.

LOTT: Right.

GLENN: You cannot have a gun inside of your own home. You can’t even have an assembled rifle inside of your home, correct?

LOTT: That’s right.

GLENN: So I mean, it’s effectively no guns. {This man has mind like a steel trap.}

LOTT: Right. I understand. I’m not trying to justify the Justice Department opinion on this and —

GLENN: I just want to make sure that I’m clear on this. This is the Bush Justice Department. {You’re surprised?}

LOTT: Right. There’s been so much strangeness that’s going on here. I don’t know if you know this but Vice President Cheney signed a brief essentially opposing the Bush Justice Department’s position on this. He came out and said not only is this an individual right but it should be treated just as the rest of the Bill of Rights are treated and this is the first time in American history that a sitting vice president has signed an amicus brief and not only has he signed an amicus brief for the Supreme Court, he’s come out against the Justice Department position on it. {This I did not know! Interesting.} And last week there was a column by Robert Novak which I guess if it’s true is quite remarkable because he was quoting people in the Bush administration saying that the solicitor general had taken a position that Bush didn’t agree with but rather than going and telling the solicitor general to withdraw his brief on that, Bush had essentially signaled to Cheney to put in his own brief to indicate that the executive branch was not of one voice agreeing with what the Justice Department was going to be arguing yesterday. {Was the SOB (Son Of a Bush) trying to have it both ways. The SOB is getting as good as Senator Orin Hatch at this game.}

GLENN: So how do you think this is going to come out, John?

LOTT: I think they are going to say it’s an individual right and I think by at least a 6-3 vote but I have no clue where they’re going to draw the line in terms of saying with standard what weight should be given to the Second Amendment compared to the rest of the Bill of Rights. There was enough doubt, Justice Roberts didn’t even want to deal with that issue and there were some questions among some of the others. So on that who knows what’s going through their mind right now.

GLENN: So this could actually, this could in one way be a win that it is an individual right but then at the same time we could lose because they could say, “And the Government can regulate it any way they want.”

LOTT: Right. That’s a possibility.

GLENN: That’s fantastic. And what does it mean, John, to New York and Chicago if they just come out and say, no, the DC gun ban is wrong, you can’t do that? Does that mean that —

LOTT: Well, there would be a few other cases. All this is would be a very narrow decision that said, look, having a gun ban is going too far. Where we’re going to draw the line after that, you are going to have to have other cases to decide and my guess is some place like Chicago there would be a suit filed very quickly afterwards saying that their ban, which is almost as restrictive as DC’s, is also unconstitutional.

GLENN: John, can you explain where the turn came and why we are looking at — why our Supreme Court is looking at — instead of the words of the founding fathers, instead of the intent of the founding fathers — I mean, jeez, we’ll look for the intent of a hanging chad voter but we won’t look for the intent of the founding fathers, which is very clear. {First insightful comment.}

LOTT: Right.

GLENN: Why we now look at evolutionary law, why we now look at the law and say, well, let’s look at this last case and this last case {Called precedence, Beck}. Why don’t they look at what the founding fathers said and believed because it was clear. {We have to clear the way back to them.}

LOTT: I agree with you. As you say, look at the First Amendment, says congress shall make no law. What would they have had to have written if they really meant that? Say congress will never, ever make any law with respect to this? {Bravo Lott!} But I think what’s happened is that people like power {Isn’t that the truth?} and so if the Supreme Court were just to go and say, well, this is what the First Amendment means; if you want it to be something different, then amend the Constitution. Or with regard to the Second Amendment it seems pretty clear to me, also, then there wouldn’t be these types of cases. What’s happened is I think judges and justices like to be policy makers and so they like to introduce grayness in things and so rather than just taking absolute standards, which is what the Constitution tried to set up, they set up these balancing tests where you have to go in and go and argue: Well, I think there are good reasons that maybe we should get around the words that are in the Constitution and then the justices have, you know, policy information, data and empirical evidence that they can go in and weight the different classing benefits of changing these different things. I mean, it’s just a natural evolution. {Excellent point.} In some sense we’re lucky that it took 160 years or so before we began to see this change in our courts because truly the temptation was there earlier to go and get power that would have been — belonged to other branches of government earlier.

GLENN: One last question. I don’t know if you are a betting man at all. Odds that we significantly hurt the right to own and carry a gun in this country with this decision.

LOTT: I think — I’m optimistic on this. I think that we’ll win with regard to individual right clearly, and I’m pretty optimistic, though, you know — I don’t know. I would say 60% or something that we’ll do well in terms of the standard.

GLENN: All right. John, thanks. John Lott, author of More Guns, Less Crime. If you want to get down to the facts of guns, which nobody wants to do, read that book. It’s tremendous. John, thanks a lot for your time.

LOTT: Thank you very much.

If you do not have Dr. Lott’s book, “More Guns, Less Crime” then please get it. It is not one of those books you just can’t put down (least for me) but it does contain the facts with data to support Dr. Lott’s (and most gun owner’s) contention that more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens actually decrease crime. Of course this is rather a no brainer to you and me but there are those out there that need the data presented to them in order to make them a believer (that is iff they want to deal with reality). Get the book for your library. Read the portions that interest you. Then put it in your library as a reference and refer to it as needed. Dr. Lott is definitely one of the good guys!

Number of Homeless Vets Drops 21 Percent

News release from the Veterans Administration dated 3/6 entitled “Number of Homeless Vets Drops 21 Percent”:

The number of veterans homeless on a typical night has declined 21 percent in the past year, thanks to the services offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and its partners in community- and faith-based organizations, plus changing demographics and improvements in survey techniques.

The reduction of homeless veterans from more than 195,000 to about 154,000 was announced as Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake was elected to chair the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness.

Peake's election to head the council coordinating the federal response to homelessness came as VA released the fourteenth annual Community Homeless Assessment, Local Education and Networking Group (CHALENG) report on homeless veterans.

"We are seeing significant progress in the fight against homelessness," said Peake. "This success should encourage all those concerned about homeless veterans, for it shows we can make a difference in the lives of these veterans through our services and with our community partners."

The decline in veterans' homelessness was attributed, in part, to VA's success in providing more services for homeless veterans and improved coordination of federal, state and local efforts.

VA provides health care to about 100,000 homeless veterans, and compensation and pensions to nearly 40,000 annually. The Department offers homeless veterans employment assistance and help obtaining foreclosed homes and excess federal property, including clothes, footwear, blankets and other items.

The Department has already approved funding for more than 12,000 beds in transitional housing programs, and provides about 5,000 veterans each year with residential services in VA hospital-based programs.

Other factors in the decline of homeless veterans include the substantial reduction in the number of poor veterans — from 3 million in 1990 to 1.8 million in 2000 — and improvements in counting homeless people.

The U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness is the coordinating entity within the federal government composed of 20 cabinet secretaries and agency heads that creates partnerships at every level of government and the private sector to end homelessness.
