No direction in Washington, little support for Cat 5 protection.

This is bad, real bad. James Gill writes that we need to spring Edwards from jail to take care of this. Blageur says dig up Huey.
Numerous commissions and planning authorities have cropped up in the wake of the storm, but there has been little consensus on how to proceed. There are disagreements about what areas should be rebuilt and how, what new building and zoning standards will say, what kind of hurricane protection is most appropriate, what should be protected and what shouldn't.

Even an enthusiastic supporter of rebuilding, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., said she was confused about who is calling the shots.

"Someone has to be in charge, and I don't know who that is," she said at a hearing on hurricane protection Wednesday. "At what point does the rubber hit the road and someone says, 'This is what we are going to do?' "



"On the Hill, I'm starting to see a little Katrina fatigue,"
Nagin said on the West Wing driveway as he prepared to leave the White House.
