Here’s a question that needs a reporter to report it out.
Over at DailyKos there’s a diary entry which suggests that FEMA Chief Michael Brown was fired from his last pre-FEMA job as a commissioner with the now-defunct International Arabian Horse Association. A White House press release announcing Brown’s appointment as Deputy Director of FEMA in December 2001 states simply that: “From 1991 to 2001, Brown was the Commissioner of the International Arabian Horse Association, an international subsidiary of the national governing organization of the U.S. Olympic Committee.”
Links provided in the original post, as well as comments from Kos readers who were members of the IAHA, strongly suggest there’s something to this story. But we need more facts, more details, interviews with people in a position to know the key facts.
If the story checks out, it should be much more widely known. But it will never get picked up until someone does the basic reporting. Who will do it?
