Thursday

Dear Senator McCain,

I read tonight on the Drudge Report the following statement in an 
article:

"FEMA director Michael Brown said the agency just learned about the 
situation at the convention center [Superdome] Thursday 
[today!!!???] and quickly scrambled to provide food, water and 
medical care and remove the corpses."

If this statement is true, then this shows to me that the FEMA 
director and other officials at FEMA are totally incompetent.
ALL DAY Wednesday on CNN, Fox, and MSNBC, reporters were describing 
the terrible situation at the Superdome. I believe even on Tuesday 
night there were such reports.

It seems unbelievable to me that someone at FEMA was NOT monitoring 
the first hand reports on the cable news channels and reporting this 
to higher officials. If I could know either Tuesday nite or 
Wednesday here in Tucson, AZ about the situation at the Superdome, 
why oh why couldn't FEMA know about it????!!!

I am so anger over this. The poor suffering of thousands of 
residents at the Superdome. No water, no food, and plenty of 
violence, etc.

I hope that you and Jon Kyl will at some point investigate this 
apparently total incompetence on the part of FEMA. The top officals 
at FEMA should be held accountable for this. But I'm sure it will 
be swept under the rug and ignored.
