It appears Rogers is trying to help Brown by asking the right questions

indeed.

and its going to cost all us of 250 billion now, because politically the "solution" to this is to dump money onto Louisiana.

What's this "How much warning time you and local officials had." FEMA doesn't do evacuations.

Head of Nat'l Hurricane Center personally called gov and mayor to give them warnings (first time in 35 (?) years he had done that). Nevertheless, evacuation was not ordered until Sunday afternoon.

I wish other officials would speak as frankly as Brown. I realize that since he's no longer employed by the feds, he has less to lose.

But it's so refreshing to hear him talk. Brown is doing a FANTASTIC job. Simply superb.

Rogers is making some excellent points about the ineptitude of Nagin & Blanco by going over this timeline with Brownie.

GOP Harold Rogers of Kentucky is really being forceful. He must be a former prosecutor.

Nagin said the storm surge would likely topple the levy system that protects the city.

17th Street and Industrial Canal levees were reported broken before noon Monday.

Brown needs to be better prepared. He should have anticipated these questions, especially the timeline questions. Rodgers is trying to lead him through it. Nagin ordered a voluntary evacuation on Saturday and mandatory on Sunday at 11 AM, despite the dire predicitions of the weather service on Friday.

I hope that they actually refer to the constitution to clarify

Brown just did, to explain that the Fed's have no authority to order evacuation in the face of a natural disaster.

I read earlier in the WSJ that one radio station was early to report a levee break, but it was washed out itself pretty much right after. No one else reported any for a while.
