What should have been done by the federal government

Two questions I have been asking every single "journalist" I can get either email or phone number for

Do you know the lines of legal authority in a disaster like this from the 1st Responders (City of NO) to the 2nd Responders (State of New Orleans) to the 3rd Responders (The Federal Govt)? If this is "All the Feds fault" why is the State of Louisianan STILL refusing to release operational control over this mess to the Feds as of Mon 9-5-05? Please explain to me How it is "All Bush's fault" for something the State of Louisiana is in control of? Considering what we saw last week in NO. Just what did the billions of dollars in Federal Homeland Security money give to the State of Louisiana and the City of New Orleans since 9-11 to manage this sort of disaster for the 72-96 hours FEMA directive tell them it will take for Federal Assistance to reach a disaster zone BUY the Federal Taxpayer's?

Indictments
also here:Dept of Justice

Three state officials were indicted Monday on federal charges of covering up a misuse of federal funds intended to repair and prevent flood damage. The indictment states that the money was actually used to bridge a $175,000 shortfall in the state's military department, the parent of the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (LDHSEP), which administers the state's mitigation grants.

This from the DHS audit

We initiated this audit based on the preliminary findings of an on-going investigation being conducted by the OIG Office of Investigations. Those findings indicated that certain Louisiana parishes had used HMGP and UN funds to mitigate projects that had not been properly approved by FEMA. Further, articles in Louisiana newspapers contained allegations that parish officials might have acted improperly with regard to FEMA HMGP and UN funds. As a result of the newspaper articles, the Legislative Auditor, State of Louisiana, conducted a review of HMGP and UN projects in the State of Louisiana. We discuss the results of that review in Finding 3 of this report.

Thank you for doing that Johnnie. We all need to keep bombarding the media with the facts. They are too stupid for belief.
