Clinton on Katrina: "Our Government Failed Those People..."

The Big Dog has weighed in. Clinton is someone I take very seriously. Unlike some politicians one might name, he's smart, well-informed and thoughtful, and he puts public policy before politics. He's not part of the blame-Bush-first crowd, and his unequivocal condemnation of the government's response is important. He's also right to say that here's what we need to do:

Now: get this situation as fixed as it can get;

Soon: appoint an independent commission to determine what went wrong and who, if anyone, is responsible.
