CTV.ca | Leaked FEMA memos expose chaos after Katrina: "A series of leaked e-mails has revealed infighting and bureaucratic chaos at the heart of the U.S. emergency agency in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) struggled to locate food, water, ice and body bags in the days after the disaster, fussed about media coverage and criticized local officials.
According to memos obtained by The Associated Press, FEMA's then-head, Michael Brown, even appeared at one point to be unaware that the agency was evacuating hurricane victims.
The e-mails were requested by a House select committee investigating the U.S. Government's response to Katrina, before they were then obtained by AP."
