Some suggestions

Don't fire Max Mayfield, National Hurricane Center Director:

"We were briefing them way before landfall," Mayfield said. "It's not like this was a surprise. ... I keep looking back to see if there was anything else we could have done, and I just don't know what it would be," he said.

Do fire Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff:

Chertoff said Saturday that government officials had not expected the damaging combination of a powerful hurricane and levee breaches that flooded New Orleans.
