Re: "I hear the head of it has no disaster experience" Do you have a clue how many times that's been posted to me, probably by you several time for all I know at this point? Get a life and watch the work go forward. Hope for the best and congratulate the man if necessary, in the end. If hundreds of thousands were dying, hundreds of thousands were saved. FEMA and HS may have talked to lawyers for all I know, and similarly the Mayor waited overnight to talk to lawyers before calling for a mandatory evacuation (this too likely cost lives), and the state waited 'til Wednesday to call for help after the levee break of Tuesday (this wasn't smart either, and could well have cost lives). Mistakes are surely still being made at all levels, yet substantial success given the circumstances, is close at hand. Give 'em some breathing room. Dan B
