Frances Fargos Townsend will lead a White House Investigation into what worked and what didn't work re Katrina. She is now Bush's Homeland Security adviser. This appointment raises once more the question of the calibre of the people leading us.
It's unclear exactly what her credentials are to be Homeland Security adviser, a post formerly held by generals. Of course, her husband being a classmate of Bush's at both Andover and Yale had little to do with her appointment. Her previous work of the Department of Justice was so sterling that her office has been blamed by both the GAO and the 9/11 Commission for our intelligence failures re 9/11.
Now, she owes her job to her connections. She has no background in security. Her previous performance is questionable. Even if she does find out what went wrong, will she tell Bush?
