I feel the same way. He had a plan and didn't follow it.

The Mayor and Governor were criminally negligent in their actions.

"I'm starting to think that he [Mayor Nagin] might ought to be charged with negligent homicide."

I'm afraid Nagin is going to have to answer to a criminal court for his neglect on two fronts: 1) why he didn't ENFORCE the mandatory evacuation order; and 2) why he didn't marshal the school buses to get those out of there who didn't have the means to evacuate.

As far as I can tell, Bush made one and only one mistake in this debacle - he trusted the Governor and the Mayor to do their jobs.
