One correction to your comments..that wasn't a NOPD captian..that was the Police Commissioner of NO, who should have been fired on the spot..

Blanco press conference just now:

going on and on about a "foundation she has set up for people to send money. Says today was a good day for us, we are all feeling a lot better"....Says "she thought certain people were picked up already and doesn't know why they are still there"..."has no idea of death toll", "I'll have an answer tomorrow"...I'm assuming there have been arrests of shooters"..."making transition from search and rescue to recovery", then said "will do it simultaneously"..."dome almost empty"...media is so soft with their questions, local media. She choked back tears and went on about "how many we saved". She said "people have lost faith in the system and that's why they didn't evacuate." Said "Bush told her he would give her everything she needed, she just had to ask." "The national guard will continue to answer to me". "There is a better attitude of peacefulness there". "We still have grave concerns." "um, um, um". "We will need more money than the 10 billion because that's for a lot of states."
