[Freedom is eternally right]

Timeline:
approx 11pm Wednesday, 3000 people at the convention center.
PBS interview with Michael Chertoff at 8am Thurdsay.
At 2:49:15 PM PDT the AP article with Nagin's SOS appears on FR, citing 15,000 people at the Convention Center.

So the reason Chertoff should be fired is what? (other than we need to blame someone)

So the reason Chertoff should be fired is what? (other than we need to blame someone)

I was responding to cahome's observation (post # 6) that he could not find any media report about the Chaos at the convention until September 1.

I didn't say he should be fired, but he should have been aware of the situation at the Convention Center before appearing on NPR. When the lessons learned review takes place, it will become obvious that communications and coordination were a major problem. The fact that the MSM were reporting on what was happening there on Aug 31 should have piqued the interest and attention of Homeland Security and FEMA.
