CNN's "Quick Vote" Poll today...

...asked:

"Do failures in the response to Hurricane Katrina raise questions about how officials might handle a major terrorist attack?"

What do you think?

Hubby actually mentioned this thought to me last night. His thought was that if it was this difficult to get relief to an area that actually KNEW a disaster was coming, what the heck would happen if we had a SURPRISE disaster or terrorist attack? So yes, I think the response to Katrina definitely raises questions about how a terrorist attack would be handled - and even IF it COULD be handled.

By the way, at the time of my posting, nearly 49,000 votes had been cast in the CNN poll with 89% voting "yes". Even Fox News has a good article in regards to this issue as well. (Dang, are they ever surprising me the past few months!)
