All Levels of Government Must Come Clean on New Orleans Disaster: Lack of Action Before, During and After Katrina Left City Defenseless

By now it's evident that everyone screwed up in New Orleans, from the Mayor of the city to the governor of Louisiana to the director of FEMA to the director of Homeland Security to the President of the United States.

So far two administration officials have taken responsibility for their part in the federal government not doing what it was supposed to: former director of FEMA Mike Brown, and President Bush himself.

Congress (which assisted in several major screw-ups itself in this crisis), the Mayor and the Governor have yet to speak up; they're still in the blame-game stage of denial.

The sooner they admit that they screwed up too, the sooner the system can be analyzed and fixed. It's clearly flawed and must be fixed IMMEDIATELY.

Enough of the obstructionist political manuvering. WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR IT!!
