Someone has put together a wiki called "Hurricane Katrina Timeline" and it’s cured me of the malaise I was beginning to feel;  I’m pretty much ticked off all over again.

For those of you not familiar with them wikis are a kind of "open" website that allows people to contribute to them and edit them freely.  What that means is that you get multiple authors and some will get their facts wrong, or even intentionally write misleading or erroneous contributions.  They are usually corrected by other contributors so the net effect is that you quickly get a comprehensive "document" from multiple sources.

I would never source a wiki for a court case or a research paper, but in general they are reliable sources of information in general.  In this case if even 50% of the information is correct it’s a damning statement about the performance of the US government in response to the Katrina disaster.
