A congressional panel on Tuesday is expected to scrutinize the decision to keep ousted Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Michael Brown on the federal payroll.

Brown told congressional investigators Monday that he is being paid as a consultant to help FEMA assess what went wrong in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, according to a senior official familiar with the meeting.

Who better to tell you what went wrong with a project than the person that thoroughly botched it. Hindsight is 20/20.(by the way I plan to never use this phrase again) Besides he gets a do-over because Bush took full responsability.
