Michael Chertoff, the leader of the US Department of Secretary of Homeland Security, didn't just sit back and watch a rappelling demonstration last week when he visited the Massachusetts Military Reservation, according to photographs released today by the Coast Guard. Chertoff (shown above on the left) grabbed a rope and joined a national guardsman, bounding down a practice wall.
