An article from Saturday's New York Times demonstrates that the White House response to Katrina is significant for understanding our homeland security capability. Note this quote: "We are left with a picture of a White House that was plagued by the fog of war," said David Marin, the Republican staff director to the House Committee investigating the government's response to the hurricane. "The committee is likely to find a disturbing inability by the White House to de-conflict and analyze information--and that has consequences." see the article http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/28/national/nationalspecial/28katrina.html?_r=1 We will be discussing this issue on February 27th when Frontline producer/reporter Martin Smith comes to class to show his documentary on the response to Katrina.
