johnson. we're approaching in 2014, 50 years now since that pivotal moment in mississippi history. june 211st, three civil rights workers left for mississippi and medded to philadelphia. they were michael, james, and andrew goodman. you probably heard those names. on this trip when they were inspecting the charred remnants of a church that was burned, they had been working there to work on establishing a voter registration center, they lost their lives. there was a complete reign of terror as dr. king described it in the town of philadelphia. there was a infiltrated police department of terrorism, and dr. charles johnson would become one of the witnesses in the famous trial called the mississippi burning trial. it didn't take place until three years later. it was not a trial for the murder of the men. it was a federal trial for the conspiracy to not give them their civil rights, to not grant them the civil rights, and so in this trial we saw some explosive moments, and one of those most explosive moments occur right when charles was on the witness stand. the defense was badgering him. the defense was trying to trap him. the defense was calling his character into question at the same ti

michael chertoff ultimately got it. he did not have a tremendous wealth of experience. why was he the right man for the job and compare him to jeh johnson lot of similarities between secretary chertoff and jeh johnson. chertoff was the right man for the job because he's incredibly smart. dhs has a lot of very difficult issues, a lot of first impression issues, and he could look at those and decide them very quickly. >> you really need to be able to make snap judgments? >> to make judgments quickly. you can't mull over things for years. dhs is not the kind of agency where you can do that. chertoff also had successfully navigated the inner agency community, something jeh johnson has done at the department of defense. they were both former prosecutors from the southern district of new york. so i think ultimately, president bush thought that background would give secretary chertoff a real leg up and help him bring together this agency. i think he did so. >> spencer, we have had two governors serve in that role, tom ridge of pennsylvania, napolitano of arizona. is it important to have a big experience with a big sprawling bureaucracy, becaus
