1. There is a report from the Congressional Research Service.

Conyers was the one who ordered it, but the service is nonpartisan. I can't find it on his website.

Nonpartisan congressional research report finds Louisiana governor took necessary steps

John Byrne

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) issued a report Tuesday afternoon asserting that Louisiana governor Katherine Blanco took the necessary and timely steps needed to secure disaster relief from the federal government, RAW STORY has learned.

The report, which comes after a request by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) to review the law and legal accountability relating to Federal action in response to Hurricane Katrina, unequivocally concludes that she did.

3. The recent news about Chertoff is just another nail in the federal coffin.

Here's a link to the thread about it. Since this info just came to be publicized today, I don't know if the other source (in the previous response) contains reference to it.
