David Marin Quotations

Top federal, state and local officials failed to process and act on information at their disposal. We already knew that.

One would think state and local officials would know beforehand who would handle the dead, and where they would be taken. These e-mails suggest otherwise.

Re-branding FEMA doesn't fix the problem; it just puts a new acronym on it.

Listed literally dozens of things (the administration) did wrong. He acknowledged more institutional failings at the White House and elsewhere than we expected.

The president doesn't have a Blackberry. Andy Card's e-mails are like the president's e-mails ... there are serious and legitimate constitutional questions about that.

We are left with a picture of a White House that was plagued by the fog of war. The committee is likely to find a disturbing inability by the White House to de-conflict and analyze information ? and that had consequences.

We simply can't imagine that critical infrastructure protection will not be part of congressional response to September 11 in the long run.

D.C. seems to be returning to the kind of practices that caused so much concern a decade ago.

Davis wants to make sure that these brave victims of financial friendly fire are taken care of.
