FEMA's Brown Out

WSJ.com - FEMA Chief to Be Relieved Of Role in Katrina Efforts

Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown is being removed from his role managing Hurricane Katrina relief efforts, the Associated Press and CNN reported.

Mr. 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.

Mr. Brown will be replaced by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who was overseeing New Orleans relief and rescue efforts.

No comment until the holy snopes say's it's so. Seriously, heads rolled and the new guy got the axe but a new day is dawning and I'll comment once it sinks in and I come up with more metaphors.
