Point take about the Coast Guard. (For some reason it doesn't seem like part of the federal government. Maybe because it's not one of the deskbound agencies?) And there was plenty of blame to go around among government agencies at all levels, as "When the Levees Broke" amply showed.
Before I say another word, do you work for the EPA? I vaguely recall that you do, or did.
