Brown should have been ridden out of office on a rail - then his credibility even with hacks like Reuters would have been too low to reach with whatever sort of implement that would-be news agency uses to scrape up interviews.
>>>Brown should have been ridden out of office on a rail...<<<
Mike Brown sucessfully handled approximately 165 federally declared disasters prior to Katrina, including the recovery efforts of several major hurricanes in Florida the prior year. The Katrina disaster was not Brown's fault, but the result of a massive hurricane that devastated approximately 90,000 square miles, compounded by total incompetence at the city level (Nagin), and total arrogance and incompetence at the state level (Blanco). Bush and Chertoff should have backed Brown up.
