FEMA's Brown Says White House Told Him To Lie 
Former FEMA Administrator Michael Brown, being interviewed on MSNBC's Hardball, was asked by host Norah O'Donnell about his interview with Playboy Magazine in which he admitted that it was a 'mistake' for him to 'play along with the White House message during Katrina' saying that it was a 'lie'.
"What was the lie?" O'Donnell asked. Brown replied, "The lie was that we were working as a team and that everything was working smoothly. And how we could go out, and I beat myself up almost daily for allowing this to have happened, to sit there and go on television and talk about how things are working well, when you know they are not behind the scenes, is just wrong." Asked if "someone in the White House was telling you to lie," Brown said, "Well, yes. They give you the talking points."
