Blaming the Mayor: Part 3
Once again, the Bush Administration (and by “Administration” I'm, of course, referring to Turd Blossom), has shifted into CYA overdrive. As part of its SOP, the administration is busy planting stories in the media about how the responsibility for managing disasters like Katrina firmly resides with the states and localities. What better way of duping readers than to submit Op-Ed pieces from fine, upstanding men like Craig Martelle? Afterall, Mr. Martelle is a former marine and his article is in print, in a real newspaper, so we can trust what he has to say as fair and accurate.
Siva's earlier post regarding Mr. Martelle's article made me think, “And exactly who is Craig Martelle?”
Well, he describes himself as a retired Marine Corps major and founder of the Strategic Outlook Institute. Now, Craig, don't be so modest. Don't forget your stint as an employee of the US DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, specifically Assistant Federal Security Director at Pittsburgh International Airport. Oh, that's right. You resigned after those troubling complaints of fraud, intimidation, and sexual harrassment. My bad.
