And if the Feds HAD come in and taken over operations, as actually was necessary (though not desired or constitutionally allowed), who would have been the first to yell about a police state because a federal officer ordered buses under Nagin's "control" to be used for evacuation?
Of course...
Unfortunately, the law dictated the city and state "control" their own ill-fated, ill-prepared operation and the fed abided in the official protocol.
The investigation is gonna get ever so ugly for the Dems IF the GOP chooses to exploit it for political purposes (which they have EVERY right to do to prove what a joke Dems are in "governing.")
