Watching a Train Wreck

The office was live streaming the congressional hearing with the CDC director regarding the recent anthrax gaffe.  Wow, what a bad day to be the guy in the hot seat.  There were two panels today, and I could barely make it through the first one.  It was tough to watch.  I felt bad that he had to be held responsible for other people's carelessness.  But on the other hand, CDC hires the top scientists to make sure that we are protected. This oversight could have gone a lot more badly.  What if this is the tip of the iceberg?  That's a scary thought.
