UPDATE Brown Officially Removed

Removed but NOT out....Via Associated Press Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is being relieved of his duties in managing the Bush administration's Hurricane Katrina relief and recovery efforts, The Associated Press has learned. Brown is being sent back to Washington from Baton Rouge, where he was the primary official overseeing the federal government's response to the disaster, according to two federal officials who declined to be identified before the announcement. Brown will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad w. Allen, who was overseeing New Orleans relief and rescue efforts. Finally, something that should have been done days ago has taken place. Isn't this just typical of the response to this tragedy however. Something that should have taken place days ago gets done too late to truly save lives and assist the victims of Katrina. Unfortunately he is still not out as FEMA Director. God help us if another major disaster or terror attack strikes the U.S. The whole idea of FEMA and Homeland Security is not just to protect the country, but to be ready to respond immediately to disaster. This showboat move by this fascist regime in nothing but a media event to attempt to show they can handle things and make "difficult" decisions. Wasn't it just last week that Dubya exclaimed “Brownie,” he said in Mississippi last Friday, “you’re doing a heck of a job.”. Just asking? What BS!!!! Things are no better than they were before Katrina struck. In fact I would venture to say thing are not much better than they were before 9-11. MORE....
