Re: Senate turns down an independent Katrina investigation
I think you are very, very wrong about the investigation into 9/11. I don't think it is fair to say that we knew what went wrong at all. Merely knowing that we fucked up is not enough. This is the reason that an aircraft accident investigation takes so fucking long - because they literally attempt to rebuild the plane to see what went wrong, rather than concluding that the deaths were casued by "unscheduled high velocity contact with the ground."
The reason that I suggest an independent commission is to depoliticize it. That's the only way that you can hope to stop (or minimize) the whitewashing of facts or the political finger-pointing. Investigating the response to Katrina won't solve the problems of those who were devastated by the storm - it MIGHT miniminze the problems for the next people caught in a similiar situation.
