9/11 commission heads see repeat failures with Katrina


...

Former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, the moderate Republican who led the independent panel known informally as the September 11 commission, and his Democratic vice-chairman Lee Hamilton said the response was undermined largely by a lack of command.

They also cited emergency communications problems and a failure to target resources at communities facing the greatest risk of natural or man-made disaster.

"The same mistakes made on 9/11 were made over again, in some cases worse," Kean said. "Those are system-wide failures that can be fixed and should have been fixed right away."

Added Hamilton: "I'm surprised, I'm disappointed and maybe even a little depressed that we did not do better four years after 9/11. It says we're still very vulnerable."

1. We'll see a repeat failure of the Katrina commission, since the

9/11 commission did absolutely zilch

2. Why are they surprised?

They whitewashed the accountability of this administration by not exposing their incompetence. They allowed Bush-Cheney to appear together, off the record and in private. The root cause of the fauilures of 9/11 got a pass....so the same criminally incompentent team was allowed to do it again to New Orleans.

If we had impeached and gotten rid of them then, thousands of lives and billions of damages might have been avoided in this disaster.

Hey Kean why don't you ask Zelikow what happened to ABLE DANGER?
