Many couldn't leave because they were waiting for an opportunity to loot.

Yes. That's true enough. But there are many people in the city who don't own cars and not everyone was looting. I sure hope you won't suggest that everyone stuck in NO is a looter, while chastising them for not being car thieves.

Some people did have jobs and had to stay behind. I know if we had an evacuation in our city, my husband would have to stay behind due to his job.

They'll probably hold a press conference later, like they did in Biloxi, after he's toured wherever he's going to tour.

LtGen Honore was interviewed on CNN.

GREAT interview. No punches pulled, the CNNewsBabette tried to trap him into "firm answers" and he didn't take the bait--but provided info anyway.

CNN rolled tape of about 20 10-ton USArmy vehicles, each with about 50 CASES of MRE's--rolling toward the Dome.

Kinda neat.

They have showers there my friend

Well yes, in the lockerooms I assumed...but they have public ones too? I wouldn't care...clean water is clean water....especially after you haven't bathed in 3 or 4 days.

A lighted hearted story in spite of these trying times. Yee takes what yee can gets I sya.

http://blogs.chron.com/domeblog/

Describing how one weary man became frustrated while waiting in line for provisions, this is just one example of what some are encountering.

This man waited in a long line only to have a volunteer hand him a jock strap with a seemingly apologetic look on his face.

Unpeturbed, the evacuee said:

As long as it's clean, I'm happy.

.........

And so it goes folks, this male evacuee is a human being who looks at the glass half full. Bravo! He's a survivor and marches forwarded. We need more like him to become a counselor in the up coming months to mentally guide the other survivors PSYCHED UP.
