Michael Brown got the chance today to counter ctiticism of his actions, or inaction, following Hurricane Katrina. At a congressional hearing today the former head of FEMA agreed with some lawmakers' characterization of him as an administration scapegoat. He also called claims that White House officials didn't know about a disasterous levee break until the day after it happened "baloney." The International Herald Tribune posted a quick but complete wire wrap-up of Brown's testimony.
