Let's watch "Meet the Press" on Sunday

MSNBC interviews Tim Russert. I'm anxious to see him "chat" with United States Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.

Some of his points from the interview:

"It’s a question that our country is going to have to look inside its soul and answer. The fact is, those who were well off were able to evacuate the city and those who were poor stayed behind. And those who are suffering and those who are dying are those very same poor people."

"President George W. Bush said the other day that no one expected the levees to break. Well, with all respect, study after study, including FEMA's own tabletop exercises last year, all included the breaking or the giving of the levees. Everyone who had studied the issue knew that with a Category 3, 4 or 5 storm, that was a very strong likelihood."
