CJ, I haven't read the articles myself, nor do I trust that the second-guessers really did their homework. That's why I said it's kind of hasty to jump to conclusions. Was FEMA really ordered to stop planning for disasters? That's a pretty big accusation, especially since it's FEMA's JOB to plan for disasters. Tenchusatsu

Sorry, they can't even argue stupidity. This transcends a persistent vegetative state. Jumping to conclusions would be to claim that they did this because New Orleans tends to vote democratic. I just listened to the Director of FEMA. He sounded very reasonable.......this is the worse disaster in recent history and the disaster didn't end when Katrina moved out of the New Orleans area........the levees were breached making things that much worse. He went on to say that conditions on the ground have hampered FEMA's effort dramatically. It sounded all very plausible. He had me..........until he said that things were not that bad in NO; that its ironic how tv cameras manage to find a looter doing his/her dirty deed. Sound familiar? Its the big bad press that's the problem.......nothing else. The same ole same ole.
