mal, assuming that was directed at me, i'd say its a different conversation altogether. in this case, i personally think it comes down to the same reason that you couldn't open up a soupkitchen, serve food laced with botulism, and then say "i was just trying to help the people out. give a mal a break." whether you or i or god knows ustwo likes it, fema is providing housing, and that housing is looking like its emitting formaldehyde at levels approaching potential carcinogenic levels. i'm not an attourney, but i think that's legally a no no.
if your position is that fema shouldn't be providing the housing to the people down in new orleans at this point and time, then your position should be that they should remove the housing and tell the people to hit the streets...or lack thereof. the dirtpaths or hedges or what have you. i think you'll find a whole panacea of different arguments as to why that's not feasible yet, and you may or may not agree with any of them.
as i stated earlier, i don't think you really want to set a standard that government provided or regulated products can be substandard.
