I may as well post the entire NYTimes op/ed page link... all the editorials on Katrina are worth reading. E.G., how many of you knew that FEMA chief Michael Brown's last job was as head of the International Arabian Horse Association? Good training for the chief of emergency management, don't you think? I heard an interview with clueless bastard Chertoff on the radio the other day where his only response to a question about Brown's background was essentially, "Well, he got a trial by fire last year with four hurricanes in Florida." Chertoff is the same guy whose response to criticism of slow federal action after the hurricane was, "you can't fly choppers in a hurricane." When the entire point of the question was only about what had occurred AFTER the hurricane. Bastard.
