Matt,

I don't disagree with much of what you said in your last post. Katrina was a monumental failure of all levels of the US government, local, state, and federal.

My problem is the failure to respond adequately to this tragic human crisis far surpasses any affront to the search and seizure that may have taken place.

Additonally, those most bothered by the search and seizure greivance are the exact same people who had no problem with illegal wire-tapping and all of the other attacks on the Constitution and civil liberties that the Bush Administration engaged in.

Did you defend any of the actions of the Bush Administration to illegally attack the Constitution and the rights of Americans .. many of which have been struck down by the courts over these past 6 years? If the rights of American citizens and the Constitution is your argument, then surely you've had problems with what's happening on the federal level and your angst over these attacks does not stop in New Orleans.

Perhaps you have not defended these attacks by the Bush Administration, but it is strangely curious to me that Nagin is criticized for the same thing that is happening on a much wider and far more dangerous federal level .. by the same people who defended those actions.
