Updates as they come in on Katrina

10:26 AM CDT on Thursday, September 1, 2005

Tom Planchet

10:26 A.M. - Hoss: What's frightening is that city leaders cannot give a concrete answer regarding the time it will take to rescue people from their roofs and get them to safety.

10:24 A.M. - Hoss: Those rescued didn't care where they were going. They were happy to be off their roofs, with food to eat.

10:14 A.M. - Hoss: "It was very surreal" - on describing the looting. People were relying on word of mouth to get information. People were still walking to the Superdome even after the dome had already begun evacuating.

Thank you so much for your affirmation!

Please try to explain these simple constitutional principles of federalism to Miles O'Brien and that thoughtful, generous of heart CNN team.

I wish I could; hopefully they will start interviewing the legal eagles and get straightened out on it.

I am at a meeting in a building in downtown Baton Rouge six or eight blocks from the RiverCenter where the "refugees" are being housed.

The building management just announced that, at the request of the State Police, the building is being locked down due to rioting and looting downtown.

Hopefully, the building's management is overacting.

So what exactly does this mean ???

They can declare it .. but can't enforce it??

Contrary to many media reports, martial law has not been declared in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, because no such term exists in Louisiana state law[4]. Rather, a state of emergency has been declared, which does give some powers similar to that of martial law. On the evening of August 31, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin did declare "martial law" (in name at least) in the city and said that "officers don't have to worry about civil rights and Miranda rights in stopping the looters." [5]

They should have put them in old military bases. This is going to be trouble.

Very true! The only other option is to give every city in the US (even the small ones) a family to take care of.....Spread them out, and make them manageable!

Spare me the Gorelick wall legalism. Of course the mayor and gov dropped the ball, but the President has authority to intervene in a nat'l emergency. He has already done so. But there are legitimate questions as to the speed and size of the fed response.

10:34 A.M. - Hoss: Stories of armed, roving gangs going around town looting every business they come across have been overexaggerated by the national media.

"wasn't done yesterday because the Gov. did not request it"

These little details of law and protocol are critical, but are repeatedly overlooked.
