Fog of War

The report of previously released tapes clearly indicates that the folks responsible for the initial Katrina response were having a great deal of trouble getting a handle on the true situation in New Orleans post Katrina. Lack of organization, practice or just the immediate aftermath of the most massive storm in a very long time...take your pick.

This is known in the military as "fog of war." Piecemeal information not giving the whole picture with big gaps in it. It is really too bad that the organizations at all levels didn't pull it together in time to get a clear picture and move the response forward.
