White House, Dems wrangle on Katrina video

WASHINGTON - The public release of confidential video shot during high-level government briefings about Hurricane Katrina touched off a new partisan skirmish Thursday.

As some Democrats called for a new probe into the federal response to the massive August storm, the White House issued a point-by-point press release defending the Bush administration's actions during Katrina.

The Associated Press obtained the government video and made it public Wednesday, offering Americans, who have witnessed months of post-disaster fingerpointing and political recriminations, their own inside glimpse into the government’s fateful final Katrina preparations. Video from Aug. 28 showed President Bush appearing confident and his homeland security chief appearing relaxed.

Fuck the "probe", just impeach him. He doesn't care about Americans. Period.

then it was the associated press that found it. This video has just been laying around for six months and nobody looked at it, doesn't that seem odd?

I imagine it got buried by the incredible events of the following weeks.

This one could honestly be an innocent mistake.

At least they released it when they did find it.
