It seems as though the debacle surrounding the NSA wiretaps has had no effect on the government as the Senate approved the renewal of the Patriot Act. With all the discussion surrounding the president's executive power and the need to curb it, in the end only four senators have opposed the Act to bolster that power more. Although that was a win for the Bush administration and the GOP as a whole, the administration looked like a fool again with the uncovering of a video. The video shows the ex-FEMA chief briefing George Bush about hurricane Katrina and the thought that the levees were going to be breached. George Bush did not ask a question throughout (all my teachers always told me the smartest people were the ones asking questions) and in the end assured the officials that the federal government was well prepared. Not only is this a mistake, but the administration and George Bush himself has tried to cover up and rewrite history. They have consistently denied the idea that anyone thought the levees would break. This video proves differently and has foiled another attempt of the Bush administration to rewrite history. Thank God for technology.
