To add to the op-ed piece I posted earlier about FEMA being dismantled by this administration, take a look at the credentials of the person they put in charge. This is the internet and rumors are rampant right now, but there seems to be much supporting evidence for the basic premise that a crony was put in charge of a skeleton agency which is supposed to protect us from real threats while billions were poured into Homeland Security which seems to have done little more than take away lots of nail clippers at airports. The only possible good that can come of this whole disaster is that Bush encounters a failure he can't sidestep or deflect.
