This is the first of several major reports examining Katrina. It won't be officially released until Wednesday but The Post was leaked the executive summary. Tough stuff for the Bush team -- which, of course, they deserve. The amazing thing is that this comes from the current Congress:
The 600-plus-page report lays primary fault with the passive reaction and misjudgments of top Bush aides, singling out Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, the Homeland Security Operations Center and the White House Homeland Security Council, according to a 60-page summary of the document obtained by The Washington Post. Regarding Bush, the report found that "earlier presidential involvement could have speeded the response" because he alone could have cut through all bureaucratic resistance.But, Bush was on vacation...just like he was on vacation when he learned that Bin Laden was determined to attack in the U.S.
