I think I better leave for a bit.

Folks, be back later.

Smogger....sorry for lashing out man. But look, you are making it sound like there is nothing bad at all going on in NO. You are denying everything.

It is frustrating.

I mentioned the e-mail not because I take it as the gospel truth, but because I found it of interest....not necessarily of news value. I read on here this morning about rapes and murders in the Super Dome, and that just seemed to lend some credibility unless he was just passing along rumors.

Pray for the situation in any event.

Apology accepted. I am not trying to dismiss your friends report out of hand. Just trying to point out that it may not be entirely accurate.

I am hardly attempting to minimize the chaos, death, and looting. But I think it behooves us to remember that notions of "hospital takeovers" and the like mainly serve to occupy and distract the police which is what the looters want.
