In an earlier post, I thought Chertoff had nothing to worry about. However, not for one minute did I expect this from any Republicans. From the Washington Post of 12 Feb 2006:

Report Spreads Blame for Katrina Failures
The House investigation criticized Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff's actions, saying his overall responsibilities for the federal disaster relief were fulfilled "either late, ineffectively or not at all."
The special report concluded that Chertoff unnecessarily delayed naming a top federal coordinator for relief efforts and the activation of an internal disaster management group. More prompt action by Chertoff would have quickened the relief effort, the report said.
The House report also faulted Chertoff for not following a response plan specifically for catastrophic disasters.

Excerpts released from the House report, which issued a total of 90 separate findings, spreads the blame through all levels of government.

Remember what Chertoff is. He is a lawyer. Another example of a well proven guideline: 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management.
