One quibble:
"Rather than create plans for a hurricane strike on New Orleans,
FEMA outsourced planning to a civilian agency."
On the face of it, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that.
FEMA is a "civilian agency." I don't think disaster planning should
be lead by a military agency.
I wouldn't even object reflexively if planning had been outsourced
to a private organization. The problem is that, who ever 'did' it,
the planning failed to achieve even the "half-assed" standard of
quality.
