2. I don't think collins is.

She's requested an investigation, but not independant, not that I have heard anyway. I checked her website too.

10. Yes both were on CNN this afternoon. Collins called response 'embarassing'

Liebermann and Collins were both very critical of the federal response. It was a good interview and response by both parties.

4. This is a Senate Commission, not an independant commission

It was asked by Frist, and they immediately started by saying they needed to wait.

5. Senator Dodd on C-Span today...

said that he didn't think it was such a good idea to have the govt investigating the govt. Don't know if he went beyond that though.

7. Found it.

Bill Clinton, rarely critical of his successor despite being a Democrat, also broke ranks, saying: �Our Government failed those people in the beginning. One hundred per cent of the people recognise that � that it was a failure.�

His wife, the New York senator Hillary Clinton, another likely presidential contender in 2008, called for a �Katrina commission�, adding: �It has become increasingly evident that our nation was not prepared.�
