The Congressional investigation is being demanded by the Louisiana contingent of representatives and senators. Mary Landrieu has been extremely vocal about this.
The congressional reps and senators also requested a cabinet level representative be appointed to oversee the disaster. It hasn't happened yet and it was requested a week ago.
I've probably watched more news reports, interviews, and press conferences about this whole situation that most of you here . . . . specifically because we didn't have regular TV programming until yesterday. Coverage has been 24 hours a day non-stop.
The people of the affected areas know that now is not the time to point fingers but I guarantee you, when it is time . . . there will be over a million fingers from south Louisiana demanding answers.
