Thankfully, he's facing some tough questions. Here's where Chertoff unconsciously admits they are on trial in front of the American people and being found guilty of incompetence and indifference. Chertoff insists New Orleans suffered two natural disasters -- the hurricane and the levee breaking -- and that NO ONE could have ever anticipated both occurring at once, which is absurd. A reporter asked him why he couldn't have anticipated both and Chertoff just responded:<br>That's the kind of question which in court the judge usually sustains the objection to. It's called argumentative. But nevertheless...you know... <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>if we had an atomic bomb on top of this...and we could pile on catastrophes</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->...whenever you do a planning process, you have to deal with what is reasonably foreseeable.
