- Another witness to the events at the New Orleans convention center: a n undercover cop in the midst of dying people.
- How the President should have responded.
- A "deadbeat" New Orleans cop's story.
- Another FEMA atrocity: FEMA confiscated supplies intended for Methodist Hospital. Apparently FEMA's Baton Rouge warehouse needed the supplies worse. According to the Wetbank Guide, FEMA also confiscated supplies intended for the Oschner Foundation Hospital.
- Another New Orleans Cop's story. Pretty much verifies the other descriptions of the scene at the convention center.
- Those New Orleans cops are such slackers...
- From WWL-AM Radio: American Red Cross closed aid centers in the Southeast Louisiana area this weekend. Apparently they believe nobody needs food and water and medical assistance on weekends. Salvation Army's centers, on the other hand, are still open and feeding people. My comment: Send your money to the Salvation Army. Their religious beliefs may be wierd, but their hearts -- and feet -- are in the right place.
- FEMA didn't even get most of the buses that did the final evacuation of New Orleans -- the governor of Louisiana did, by sending a letter to the governors of other states.
- FEMA: Incompetence? Or Malice?
- Doctors not allowed to help dying patients, given mops by FEMA officials.
- Ice Capades: FEMA delivers ice to places it's not needed.
- Dutch: Federal response should have been within hours, not days. Note that Queen of Netherlands put on hip waders and was touring the flooded area mere hours after their last disaster on the scale of New Orleans, contrast with Bush response of staying on vacation.
- WaPos: Katrina is lesson in what not to do
- More than duct tape needed to fix Bush legacy as Worst President Ever
- WaPost: Katrine timeline
- Blanco: FEMA didn't send buses until it was almost too late.
- Doctor: FEMA ordered him to stop treating hurricane victims.
- ... more to come as day develops ....

Hey Badtux! I was reading a Washington Post article called "Katrina Timeline" and there was this little box that said, "Find out what the bloggers are saying about this article" and there you were! Technorati is cool...
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so sick I can't stand it.They are STILL letting people suffer.Nice.
ReplyDeleteI swear, FEMA is trying to kill people. It's the only explanation that makes sense. Because if this is mere incompetence, if this is genuinely the best the government can do, we are really really REALLY in trouble.
