This letter is an obvious feeble attempt to "CYA" from Governor Blanco. Pure B.S.
I saw that same letter the other day on the N.O. TP site, too. That site looks like TP articles posted on a daily basis. If there's any B.S., the TP would have to be involved.
But, the bottom line is, New Orleans and LA officials were in charge of evacuation. And they failed. They've had years (and plenty of money from the feds) to finalize evacuation plans for their doomed city. It was their responsibility, and they didn't follow through. And now they're pointing their fingers at everyone else.
I agree.
All President Bush has to do is produce the real letter, right?
