Cherthoff Should Be Fired

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Cherhoff's performance before the sham committee in the House investigating Bush's Post-Katrina Recovery Disaster was inexcusable.

The blurb from the KR story pretty much sums it up:

Michael Greenberger, a law professor and director of the University of Maryland's Center for Health and Homeland Security, disputed that Brown had adequate authority prior to Chertoff's designating him the principal federal official.

"I think to this day Michael Chertoff still doesn't know what the National Response Plan calls for," Greenberger said. "Look, if Michael Brown was supposed to be effectively the principal federal official in charge of this, the National Response Plan would have made the PFO the FEMA director."

Fired Up was making this point as far back as September 12th.
