Senate Homeland Security Committee officials announced late Friday they will begin an investigation this week into the catastrophe and have ordered officials to brief the panel Wednesday.
The oversight panel will look at ongoing efforts to rescue and comfort victims, and will not address preparedness and response questions until after the rescue mission ends.
"It is critical that we in the Senate do everything in our power to strengthen the federal government's response, and that we thoroughly examine what appears to be breakdowns in preparedness for and responses to disasters, without interfering with efforts that are currently under way," Sens. Susan Collins, Maine Republican and committee chair, and Joe Lieberman, Connecticut Democrat and ranking member, said in a joint statement.
BRING IT ON!

I'm ticked off that Sen Obama had threatened a call for Senate Hearings when I wad written him on further investigation regarding Abel Danger. He wasn't willing to expose Rat complicity into 9/11 whitewash, but had a dagger to stab Bush over Katrina. Well, I can't wait for the spin when he weasels out of this!

Senate Homeland Security Committee officials announced late Friday they will begin an investigation this week into the catastrophe and have ordered officials to brief the panel Wednesday. Wednesday? The job will be done by Wednesday so the officials can submit to the almighty Senate?
Senator arrogance is the third most abundent element in the universe, behind hydrogen and stupidity.

When these northerners find out how stupid the Mayor of NO and the Governor of LA are they will start puking all over their fancy Senate offices.
I wouldn't be surprised to see calls to make New Orleans a Federal Historic District or somesuch when they figure out how bad the local government has been to its people.

The real problem is red tape either at where the local level ends and the federal level begins.

How smart is that pulling Chertoff, Brown, etc., back to Washington in the middle of a disaster?
