It's not incompetence.

I just read several postings, on anarchoblogs, and elsewhere lamenting how surprised they are at the incompetence being shown in the response to the Katrina aftermath.

It's incredible.

As in, it is not credible that the world's richest, most technologically advanced nation is not capable of even setting up a centralized communication centre by the end of Day 3.

Sorry, I just don't buy it.

Someone in this administration, or several someones should be going to jail. If it is incompetence, it's criminal incompetence and depraved indifference. If it isn't, it's murder.
