Where is the 60 Minutes story about the Gov in denial on the 28th?
60 Minutes is dancing around the fact that local government had to be bypassed in order to achieve results.
60 Minutes is refusing to say how the LA authorities did not allow federal help!
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Police shot and killed at least five people Sunday after gunmen opened fire on a group of contractors traveling across a bridge on their way to make repairs, authorities said.
Deputy Police Chief W.J. Riley said police shot at eight people carrying guns, killing five or six.
Fourteen contractors were traveling across the Danziger Bridge under police escort when they came under fire, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers.
They were on their way to launch barges into Lake Pontchartrain to help plug the breech in the 17th Street Canal, Hall said.
None of the contractors was killed, Hall said.
The bridge spans a canal connecting Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River.
No other details were immediately available
I guess not all of Maxine Water's constiuents made the bus to Alexandria!
We need to make sure that the new theme song whenever there is a Sean Penn item on is the "Theme from Das Boot"...
"The criticisms of Nagin came from above as well. Numerous officials urged him to evacuate the city, but he worried about the legality of ordering people out when New Orleans has few safe hurricane shelters. Also, National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield in Miami called Nagin at home Saturday night and told him: "Get people out of New Orleans."
Right and Pelly is asking how is it better that so many were in the Superdome..that hellhole. Um maybe cause they lived instead of drowning you ass!
I LOVE THIS GENERAL!
Me too!
That's what someone said (guess I'm not watching the right channel)... - lol
Yes yes the war slut!
Head of levees for AC on 60 mins saying that it needed to be fixed 20 years ago.
Nagin knows how to play for the cameras.
Nagin played his violin while New Orleans drowned.
The man looks clinically insane. The kind of crazy you avoid on the street.
Says the Prez told him they didnt handle it right!
I'm sorry, but I can't believe they are going to offer cruise ships for temporary housing, I mean, look what a mess the Superdome and the Convention center were left in, who's going to pay for the repairs on the cruise ships when they leave?
To the best of my recollection, only one. George W. Bush.
The National Guard is referring to certain flooded parts of N.O. as "Lake Nagin" over the radios...that is classic.
ROTFLMFAO!!!!
That is the best I have heard so far.
Absolutely 100% unadulerated hit-piece on the President and 100% unadulterated CYA job for Nagin
Scott Pelley is a POS
Phone service is back in Purvis, MS (below Hattiesburg) as of last night. Shocked my dad in CA when his sister Billy called last night.
I think there were two (maybe more) evacuation orders. The really urgent "mandatory" one was on Sunday. An earlier order was not mandatory, but urged preparation for an evacuation.
