From Fox News:

When the Catastrophe Is Government

Wednesday, September 07, 2005
By Radley Balko
In a few days, we'll observe the fourth anniversary of Sept. 11, at the time the most catastrophic failure of our government in my lifetime.

What's odd is that just after our government failed in its duty to protect us, the public's faith in the president, the Congress, and government in general soared. Congress indemnified the airlines and private security firms for their failures — in effect removing any market punishment for them — and put airport security under federal control (with predictable results).

Our elected officials responded to the bureaucratic failings of our various intelligence agencies by creating the Department of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy we've ever seen. Federal spending skyrocketed. We created new cabinet-level positions. We handed over a number of our civil liberties, because our government told us doing so was necessary to protect our freedom.

Sept. 11 is no longer the most catastrophic failure of government in my lifetime. Its response to Hurricane Katrina is. Government at all levels, run by both parties, regardless of race, inexcusably failed to secure the safety of the people of New Orleans. The lesson here is not the failure of one party or the other. The lesson here is the failure of government.
