Ex-FEMA Chief Michael Brown: I may tell all about Katrina
http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/02/09/fema.brown.ap/

It sounds like Michael Brown would like to share the blame and shame with the WH in the spirit of full disclosure, and what really went down in the aftermath of Katrina. To be continued...


Former disaster agency chief Michael Brown is indicating he is ready to reveal his correspondence with President Bush and other officials during Hurricane Katrina unless the White House forbids it and offers legal support.

Brown's stance, in a letter obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press, follows senators' complaints that the White House is refusing to answer questions or release documents about advice given to Bush concerning the August 29 storm.

Unless there is specific direction otherwise from the president, including an assurance the president will provide a legal defense to Mr. Brown if he refuses to testify as to these matters, Mr. Brown will testify if asked about particular communications," the lawyer wrote.

Brown's desire "is that all facts be made public."
