A congressional committee yesterday blasted former FEMA director Michael Brown for essentially messing up with hurricane Katrina. Everyone deserves the benefit of doubt and had he acted on time perhaps he would be a hero and cashing in on multiple accolades. (CNN: Brown testified he had been "tired and misspoke" when he told television interviewers September 1 that he learned of the convention center situation only that day, saying that he actually had learned of it one day earlier.)
The damage caused by hurricane Katrina and later by Rita could not have been avoided, hurricane winds and water are not something that can be controlled. Katrina tore up a beautiful city and a wonderful lifestyle. Regardless of who gets fired, canned or praised in the end it will be the people of New Orleans who will rebuild.
