EX-FEMA boss says he was made a scapegoat

WASHINGTON -- The disgraced former boss of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) testified in a Senate investigation today into the government's disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina, shifting the blame to other top government officials and telling the panel that he feels "abandoned" by the Bush administration.

Michael Brown, who quit as chief of FEMA just days after Katrina devastated much of the Gulf Coast area, had indicated a willingness to reveal his communications with President George W. Bush and other top officials as the disaster unfolded.

...

However, Senator Norm Coleman, a Republican from Minnesota, countered that Brown simply didn't provide leadership.

In a combative exchange, the former disaster chief said he resented such accusations. Brown says he made mistakes but did everything he could to try and deal with the suffering.
