=======

"This is clearly something that was disturbing. It was disturbing to me when I learned about it, which came as a surprise. You know, the very day that this emerged in the press,I was on a video conference with all the officials, including state and local officials. And nobody, none of the state and local officials or anybody else was talking about a convention center," Mr. Chertoff told CNN.

DHS and FEMA should not have to spend valuable time watching television for information when there is work to be done - especially when the top officials are in contact via video conference. Those "officials" should be the official source of information - not MSM.

James Lee Witt has been "advising" Blank-O. If I was a paranoid, tin-foil-hat-wearing nut I might be having "hanging chad" flashbacks about now.

When you're running an organization .. you don't have time to stand around watching TV - besides the feds were expecting the state and city govts to be doing their part - BUT THEY WEREN'T - and now they want to blame the feds for their own incompetence.

It would be somewhat reasonable for such characters to assume that their special channels were giving them more up-to-date info than the media.

An eroneous assumption as we know.

You ever bother to read the constitution? Would you rather the government stopped worrying about plucking 17,000 people off rooftops (which was what they were SUPPOSED to be helping with) in order to get some people off a bridge (which was SUPPOSED to be the responsibility of the mayor and governor?)

Shoot, why are we paying local officials. We could save a whole bundle of money if we just let everything be run by Washington. We could sure get rid of a lot of state and city employees and the expense that goes along with them. That would be a tidy savings. Hey, maybe you're onto something.

Do we really want the Feds taking cues from the media?

After all, once the storm passed, the legitimate media (and Geraldo) told the world that NO had dodged the bullet.

The Feds have to follow the protocol of the Federal Relief and Recovery Act and CNN and Fox are listed on the list.

You want federal officials to take action based on news accounts, which were largely third-person accounts at the time, instead of taking the word of the state and local authorities who were in the building at the time?

Exactly....no question the local & State officials were a bunch of dumb-a$$es...but if you were just following the news you would have known long before Thursday how bad things were!

Yup. They have nothing better to do than watch Shep Smith. The communications on tuesday was a shambles. In fact there is an entire thread complaining about news reporting (specifically Shep and Geraldo). And even if they knew through the media,, they STILL COULDN'T ACT until asked.

Should they do their jobs, or should be watching
TV news?
