Yeah, maybe we could all agree that:

1.) Disaster planning, especially in light of 9/11, was not well
coordinated or well thought out.  That is, individual scenerios were
considered, but command and control was not.

2.) Politics got in the way of relief - a wrangling of state's rights
over federal authority.  Politicians and political appointees have
spent their whole lives spinning events in a CYA mode so, in a crisis,
they're afraid to act.  That is, nobody was willing to say, "Hey I'm
going to do what's right - if you don't like it sue me, throw me in
jail, but I'm going to act now!"  A politician is not going to do that
even if it means deaths.
