An editorial in today's Washington Post examines yet another group whose role in the Katrina fiasco needs to be examined: the United States Congress. So far, their actions have received relatively little scrutiny, but some of their actions (and inactions) seem to have played a part in setting the stage for the disaster.
With so many failures at so many levels of government, I'm starting to think that any investigation should be done by a bipartisan, independent commission. The 9/11 commission could serve as a model, as could the Warren investigation of the Kennedy assassination. Such a bipartisan, independent body would have the best chance of reaching findings that people can trust.

Hmmm, didn't the Warren Commission find that one bullet did some seemingly impossible things?
Perhaps politics and the truth make strange bedfellows.

As one of those people who trusts the findings of neither of these commissions, I agree with your call, but doubt it would do much good even if acted upon.
