Why Is Michael Chertoff Still Employed?. From Scrivenings: Scrivenings: FEMA Official Says Brown and Chertoff Ignored Warnings : Anyone who's been sympathetic with attempts to deflect criticism onto state and local officials should go listen to this story from Morning Edition that was playing as I drove in to school this morning. Leo Bosner, the official at FEMA in charge of the unit that alerts officials of impending crises and manages the response says that he sent a very strongly-worded report (I remember a phrase very similar to: "has the potential to be the greatest disaster FEMA has ever had to respond to") to Mike Brown... [Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal]

Well, the only way Chertoff will leave is if he resigns himself. Bush still had confidence in Brownie , even after he resigned. Bush does not fire people as long as they continue to display unremitting loyalty.  5:40:46 PM
