Evidence Of Bush Administration Incompetence Keeps Rolling In

This story from the AP is just the latest example of how the Bush administration just ignores information that they don't want to hear.

Former FEMA Director Michael Brown was warned weeks before Hurricane Katrina hit that his agency's backlogged computer systems could delay supplies and put personnel at risk during an emergency, according to an audit released Wednesday.

The internal review of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's information-sharing system showed that it was overwhelmed during the 2004 hurricane season. In an Aug. 3 response, Brown and one of his deputies rejected the audit, calling it unacceptable, erroneous and negative.

But it's hard to blame agency heads that ignore facts that don't support what they already believe.  After all, they serve a President who in the run-up to the war in Iraq made clear that he only wanted intelligence reports that supported the course of action he had already decided to take.
