Homeland security is not about the West Nile virus, tornados, hurricanes, floods, heat stroke, gas prices, etc. Homeland Security is about SECURITY. When have they ever had to respond to a hurricane before? Maybe I missed it.

I don't get you guys who are totally ramped. You are the verbal snipers -- when people are doing their best in a dreadful situation, you guys (many, not just you) are taking them out with sniper fire. How is that different than the depraved idiots who shot at the helicoptors on top of Tulane hospital?

Homeland Security is about setting evacuation procedures, plans, etc. Looking at NO, there's not much evidence that those procedures were adequate. Then again, maybe they weren't followed.

Oh for God's sake! Nobody is allowed to recognize ineptness, and make recommendations for improvement?

I don't know about you, but I welcome criticism so that I can get better. And I get plenty of criticism.
