Disaster and [lack of] response
By John McDaid | Friday, 2 September 2005
Yesterday, Daily Kos had this post calling attention to indifference of the Administration to clearly articulated, highly public warnings. This was not a disaster which was unforseen. It really makes you wonder if anyone with a functioning brain works for Homeland Security or FEMA.

But the next day the storm gathered steam and drew a bead on the city. As the whirling maelstrom approached the coast, more than a million people evacuated to higher ground. Some 200,000 remained, however--the car-less, the homeless, the aged and infirm... .
Ignoring the obvious seems to be this Administation's strong suit.
