Bush selects judge to head Homeland Security

WASHINGTON, JAN. 11. The United States President, George W. Bush, on Tuesday chose Federal appeals court judge Michael Chertoff to be his new Homeland Security chief, turning to a former prosecutor who helped craft the early war on terror strategy.

``Mike has shown a deep commitment to the cause of justice and an unwavering determination to protect the American people,'' Mr. Bush said. ``Mike has also been a key leader in the war on terror.''

Mr. Chertoff headed the Justice Department's criminal division from 2001 to 2003, where he played a central role in the nation's legal response to the September 11 attacks, before the President named him to appeals court position.
