Case in point:
"And in all fairness to the Dept of Homeland Security right now, I mean this is a brand new Department that was formed after 9/11. In many ways this is a "learn by our mistakes and figure out what to do better" type of scenario."Are you kidding me?! How does she come up with these ridiculous comments? First of all, fairness? FAIRNESS?! What fairness!! We don't need to be fair with the government agency that failed to do its job and in so doing caused the death of thousands of people who could have lived to see another day. Go ask them if we should be fair with them or hold them accountable.
Second, a brand new Department? So what? How long does it take before they became operative? Furthermore, the Department itself might be new, but the agencies that folded into it sure as hell aren't. What went wrong here is the fact that Bush put in charge of this Department someone who had no experience managing that kind of agencies. Or an emergency. Same goes for FEMA, one of those agencies, that used to be top notch, until a complete incompetent, Brown, was put in charge of it. I mean, c'mon, his previous job was being in charge of horses. And he lost that gig too.
Finally, learn by our mistakes and figure out what to do better? She's completely insane. I'm sorry, but the Department of Homeland Security was set up to make the Homeland safer from terrorist attacks and the like (i.e. natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina or an earthquake.) I don't think they are supposed to be observing disasters in order to learn how to deal with them the next time something happens. Their job is to prevent the disasters from happening in the first place.
CNN sure has lost the luster it once had as a news organization. Just like the rest of the mainstream media.
Thank God for the blogs and the internet.
