It's not every day you get told off by an ex-FEMA director as well as a retired admiral/former deputy secretary of Homeland Security. But that's exactly what happened in a letter from James Lee Witt and James M. Loy, respectively, who now co-chair ProtectingAmerica.Org.
The pair took issue with my Dec. 24, 2007 column recapping my guesses for last year's top stories, concluding that I had been right on target in predicting there would be “lots of talk but little action” on their pet project–creating a national catastrophe fund.
“It's one thing to be wrong about a prediction; it happens every day. But you couldn't be more wrong about what did, in fact, happen in Congress on creating a national catastrophe fund,” they wrote.
