Leon Moore, 55, the left side of his body paralyzed for the past 12 years because of a stroke, pulled his weathered red truck up to the Superdome and angrily decried Mayor Nagin. "The mayor of the city didn't make preparations for the handicapped," he said.

The criticisms of Nagin came from above as well. Numerous officials urged him to evacuate the city, but he worried about the legality of ordering people out when New Orleans has few safe hurricane shelters for them to evacuate to. Also, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield in Miami called Nagin at home Saturday night and told him: Get people out of New Orleans.

"I could never sleep if I felt like I didn't do everything that I could to impress upon people the gravity of the situation," Mayfield said. "New Orleans is never going to be the same."

The truth WILL get out. The blindsided us cause we were all ready to DO the job and forget the politics, They want war. Believe me, they REALLY do not want a Congressional Investigation into why all our Homeland Security Money give to NO and Louisiana since 9-11 produced THIS mess.

Understand that I think primary responsibility for this whole thing lies with Nagin & Blanco for not getting people out of NOLA before this all started....

But seems to me I saw Chertoff on CNN last night, just before they announced Rehnquist's death, and he was still saying "no one knew it would be this bad," and for that I think he needs to go, because if he doesn't know it's been predicted for years as one of the top 3 potential disasters in the U.S., he's too clueless to be in that job.
