While this is certainly a relief, and i did express some doubt concerning some of the worst of the worst stories...
This is the best apology i can come up with.
Dear President Bush:
In light of recent reports, it seems the NOLA area did not descend into as much chaos as was originally reported. This was never the sole (or even important) basis of my criticism of your inadequate response and therefore changes nothing. It still appears that planning, evacuation, response for major disasters was totally insufficient. Your appointees, Brown and Chertoff, displayed a total lack of imagination in preparing for this disaster, even when it was widely known to be a possibility. Command and control of relief efforts are still reported to have been chaotic at best. Under your watch, FEMA was gutted from being one of the strongest assets this nation had to being a disgrace. I personally watched efforts in the floods in the Midwest and felt great pride at the care this nation took for those in danger. I now fear this nation is less safe than ever, less capable of preventing or recovering from major disaster or attack.
Sincerly,
Martin Guerre
Is that what you had in mind?
