This does not include Brown's oversight of floods, wildfires, tornados, earthquakes, and snow-related disaster areas totalling about 100.

I think if the death toll from Katrina comes in at anything short of Ray Nagin's figure of 10,000, W should give Brown the Medal of Freedom, just like he did for George Tenet.

10,000-x= number of lives saved by Brown. QED.

Gosh! why didn't I see this list in the NY Times?

I'm sorry, but anyone on that Thursday night of the disaster who says everything is O.K.in N.O. obviously was not on top of his game.

I'm sure Micheal Brown is a great guy, but Bush did the right thing in taking away operational control from him of FEMA on the ground

Thank you. I've asked the question since I couldn't understand the Democratic hit squad ratting down on Director Brown. Quite frankly I find that FEMA is doing a fantastic job under Brown. For a Director and only about 2500 employees, wow! This department of the Government is doing an outstanding job.
