This reasoning by the Mayor...should tell anyone who questions who was at fault in not reacting to Katrina well enough...their answer...
As far as I am concerned....his decision (against Adm Allen's advice, it seems) to have these people return before it is SAFE, is just as negligent as not getting them out to begin with...
This Mayor is not only incompetent, he is negligent, IMHO.
What about the people themselves, willing to return when all common sense screams NO!
Is it Nagin alone who has no sense?
