so do michael brown (director of FEMA) and homeland security secretary michael chertoff. i read articles quoting them which were unbelievable - the lack of compassion for their fellow human beings truly shocked me, but their lack of awareness of what was going on as late as last friday morning was a jaw dropper.

perhaps people should be in charge who at least read a newspaper or cnn.com because those two guys didn't even have that much knowledge of what was happening in new orleans

wasn't it the white house's idea to put homeland security in charge of FEMA?
