Prepared for Katrina?

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Paul McHale, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense on many occasions. He is a former Marine who has done an excellent job of liaising with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This is no small feat as the cultures of the two are irreconcilably different. Let’s face it, DHS is seriously f’ed up. Anyway, I bring up McHale because in an article today, he spoke about the military’s role in Katrina. I am actually supposed to see him later this month if you have anything constructive that you would like me to pass on…
