How many Americans are actually qualified to evaluate the federal response to Katrina?

I could editorialize for hours about what I think, or what I read on the news the other day, but the fact is that I've never been to New Orleans... and aside from some rudimentary knowledge that I picked up in science classes, I know next-to-nothing about hurricanes.

Millions of people like me are passing their own judgment on the way this catastrophe was handled by our government -- but how many of us really have the slightest clue?
