I have wondered for days why anyone who could does not just start walking away from the superdome and other places where they are awaiting aid. I have suspected that the government forces may be preventing their departure. Can anyone provide any info on whether these people are free to leave or not?

I wondered that too. I believe that part of the hwy is underwater so they can't walk out of the city. However, last night we heard on Fox News from the reporters that they are prevented from walking out now, they are being "contained" on the hwy overpasses but with no apparent info on a "plan" to get them out of there yet.

Info is essential, but disorganization and a leadership vacuuem rules the week in New Orleans.

My surmise is that only credentialled people have freedom to enter or leave. The exodus is closely managed.

Smart approach. Otherwise bands of "whatever" would show up "wherever."
