In my opinion....criminal charges might be brought up in the Katrina case....as a loss of life "could" be attributed to an incompetent individual in a position of power, placed there inappropriately as a political favor. I find this extremely unlikely, and probably a misplaced emotional reaction to something that has REALLY pissed me off. That said, much of this so called "cronyism" is built into our system at this point and will be very difficult to remove....if not impossible. I would simply hope, going forward people are not given responsibility they are totally unprepared for, just because someone scratched the right back.
