I asked, "When and where did this happen? Do you have a link?"
You replied, "http://www.mydd.com/story/2005/9/3/17282/81965".
Why am I not surprised that this is a left-wing-kook web site? Everything on the site bashes the President and/or FEMA. They even quote Mary Landrieu and Jefferson Parish President Broussard as credible sources. Jeesh!
Were you not the least bit suspicious when you saw ads like, "Help Stop John Roberts", or "Donate to PETA's Animal Emergency Fund". If not, this statement from the first article should have alerted you:
"If there is anyone on the CCN that is in the Baton Rouge area we are meeting today at the LA State Dem Party HQ at 2pm CST to game out tomorrow."
Get a clue...

I'm not joining the flame-Brown chorus here. I shave with an Occam, so let's assume that the problem is field-level FEMA operatives who find themselves in "combat" for the first time and can't get their noses out of the rulebook.
FEMA needs a field man with Ge. Honore's attitude, more like "Screw the rules, let's get it done!"
