Do the terrorists know about this?
A key part of the White House's emergency blame-shifting procedure seems to be justifying FEMA and the administration's slow, inept response to Katrina by claiming (falsely) that Governor Blanco failed to declare a state of emergency.
Leaving aside the brazen mendacity of the White House spin (Blanco DID declare an emergency) - does this mean that if terrorists had attacked the oil refineries, the administration would be sitting with its thumbs up its ass waiting for the governor to declare a state of emergency?
