It's not every day you get told off by an ex-FEMA director as well as a retired admiral and former deputy secretary of homeland security. But that's exactly what happened to me last week when I received a letter from James Lee Witt (pictured above) and James M. Loy, who now co-chair ProtectingAmerica.Org. The pair took issue with my recent recap of how well I had predicted the top stories of 2007, at least in terms of my take on the advance of their cause–to establish a national catastrophe fund. Read on for their critique and my response.
