Because of all the hullabaloo surrounding the response to Hurricane Katrina, FEMA director Michael Brown has been relieved of his duties as “on-site head of hurricane relief operations in the Gulf Coast.”

The Bush administration has caved to the blame-game, despite the evidence that local and regional authorities were first and foremost to drop the ball in response to Katrina.

Maybe Brown is an incompetent? How the heck can anyone know with certainty as who is to blame just a week and a half after Katrina hit? An investigation, anyone? Many Democrats are already opposed to one. Finger-pointing must be sufficient to them.

But Democrats are now silent about the now infamous Clintonite, Sandy Berger. Gone and forgotten? According to CNN:

Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger was sentenced Thursday to community service and probation and fined $50,000 for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them. …

Berger's associates admit he took five copies of an after-action report detailing the 2000 millennium terror plot from the Archives. The aides say Berger returned to his office, discovered that three of the copies appeared to be duplicates and cut them up with scissors.

The revelations were a dramatic change from Berger's claim last year that he had made an "honest mistake" and either misplaced or unintentionally threw the documents away.

So Berger gets a slap on the wrist for betraying the national trust. After all, Berger was trying to influence the outcome of the 9/11 Commission investigation -- looking into one of the greatest tragedies in our nation's history. This is justice?
