its just too much to write off to plain incompetence, it went on far too long. other posters on previous threads mentioned that the Democratic machine in LA does not like Mayor Nagin because he supported Bush for president, this may well explain why his calls to ask the governor to ramp up security using state resources and the guards, just fell on deaf ears.

This would not shock me one bit, it could have well been a local Democratic orchestrated Union like strike, hurricane victims be damned. LA, with all it's decades of embedded corruption and paid off front puppets.
