Sounds like left hand and right hand at odds, and if these things actually happened as described, then that is clearly a failure. But from the looks of things in that transcript, the gentleman you quote seems hysterical. I'm not sure one can take what he says as an accurate accounting of the events he purports to describe. The transcript was interesting, though, in any case. Chertoff made some valid points that perhaps got lost in the emotion of the whole conversation. Russert kept badgering him about who was going to be fired, who should resign and other questions that can and should wait. Chertoff said now is not the time to be pointing the finger of blame. Now is the time for everyone to do whatever they can to help. I am sure there will be endless congressional hearings over who and what worked or failed. Probably an independent, bipartisan commission, too, just like on 9-11. Cokie Roberts made an excellent comment on ABC today. She said ANYONE - in either partisan camp - that is out there politicizing this catastrophe will find their behavior coming back later to bite them in the ass (off course, she said it differently).
