'Katrinagate' fury spreads

Washington - "For God's sake, are you blind?," a woman shouts at the
head of the federal emergency management agency (FEMA), Michael Brown.
"You're patting each other on the back, while people here are dying."
The woman is not a victim of Hurricane Katrina. She is a reporter with
US television network MSNBC who is so affected by the misery she has
witnessed she can hold back no longer.
"Katrinagate" is the term being used by the media to describe the
biggest challenge facing the political establishment in the US since
the Watergate affair in the 1970s toppled Richard Nixon.
Not for decades has there been such merciless questioning of the
president and his administration by the US media.
