Accountability.

I was very glad to see this statement from Rep. Brad Miller. Especially this:

"I know that this administration thinks that accountability is an ephemeral thing. If there is an attempt at accountability too soon, it's finger pointing. If there is an attempt at accountability too late, then it's something you should get over. There is just a moment for accountability.

"Mr. Speaker, tell me when that moment will be. Tell me precisely when the moment will come for accountability for the failures of our response, for the failures of our planning that have led to the devastation and the hardships that we are see now."

As James Wolcott points out, but for the relentless "Jersey Girls," the Administration might have gotten away without any investigation into the failures of 911. They sure as hell tried - they blocked and obstructed with all their might as long as they could get away with it. They mustn't get away with it this time.
