I heard this on one of news networks early on. I hope this story gets widespread coverage, because the public perception is GW was late coming out of the gate, when in fact it was Blanco and Nagin.

If I remember the last week correctly, Nagin spent last Saturday consulting with lawyers on the liabilities that would result from a mandatory evacuation.

But just one more time for the "Bush's fault" crowd:

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said that President Bush had called and urged the state to order the evacuation.

Just imagine if he didn't.
