Senate Panel Urge FEMA Dismantling

A Atriso points out, it was Joe Lieberman that wanted FEMA rolled into DHS in the first place.

Ms. Collins and Mr. Lieberman, who in 2004 helped lead a similar restructuring of the management of the nation's intelligence agencies, said the recreated agency at homeland security would have the authority and resources needed to lead a response by the full federal government to a disaster, instead of seeing itself pushed to the side, as FEMA was after Hurricane Katrina.
