IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ONE TO COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY WITH MS TOWNSEND, FRANCES?

As Fran Townsend joins CNN as a contributor specializing in homeland security advice, I suggest the following question for her first on air interview. Why did the White House Lessons Learned report on Hurricane Katrina omit any mention of the hospital with the largest number of patient deaths? LifeCare's New Orleans long term acute care facility lost 24 patients post landfall.

While Wolf Blitzer has Fran on air, ask her how her global risk management job search is proceeding? She wanted to work for an investment house. Funny, she covered for a politically connected private equity underwriter (PEU) with her LifeCare omission. The Carlyle Group has to be happy about her overlooking that important detail as the company enters numerous wrongful death civil lawsuits. Guess what their lawyers came up with for a defense? It's Fran and company's fault! Maybe, Jack Cafferty can get her on record with some real answers.

She left the White House last November quaking in her heels over subpoenas. It's time she answered questions, preferably under oath. If this is the level of news person CNN chooses to employ, our country is in deep trouble. First 60 Minutes turned into a non-entity, now it's CNN. Who will do investigative reporting? Don't tell me it's up to those terrorist bloggers!
