The Federal Emergency Management agency has come under a lot of criticism for its role in the days immediately after Hurricane Katrina struck. The agency was also criticized when it asked news photographers covering Katrina not take pictures of corpses.

Recently, Robin Young spoke with photographer Vincent Laforet of The New York Times and asked him what he thought about FEMA's request.
