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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:173717 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
