The Associated Press reports that Federal Emergency Management Agency director Mike Brown has resigned:
"I'm turning in my resignation today," Brown said. "I think it's in the best interest of the agency and the best interest of the president to do that and get the media focused on the good things that are going on, instead of me."
Brown should not have waited three days after losing his onsite command of the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. He should have resigned as soon as the controversy erupted over FEMA's response to hurricane Katrina. He owed it to the president to at least offer his resignation then.
