Note that I am not saying most of the criminals there are not black, just that most of the blacks are not criminals

I agree. All it takes is bands of small pockets, like we have in Iraq, that disrupt the good. in this case these pockets were terriozing people because they were white. senseless murders. if it were a dozen guys in sheets... what would they be reporting.
10K body bags have been requested by the recovery agencies. not reported because they want to keep it quite. Vitter did hint at those numbers earlier today. It sucks because many of these lives could have been saved.

I agree fully. I expect that when the pumps get going, they will have to clear the corpses from the intakes, unless they wait a few more days and let them settle. New Orleans will reek of death brought about by incompetence for a long time to come.

We will likely never know how many have perished, just the confirmed dead and some of the missing.

Imho, all the race-baiting, all the blaming the Feds, is just an attempt to take the spotlight off of the incompetence of the local authorities.

No doubt, some remained behind solely for the purpose of looting. Some, for whatever reason could not get out. It is the latter who have suffered unnecessarily due to the local authorities' mismanagement of the situation.
