This would be a good personal story segment for O'Reilly.

Yes. He should do a spot on this. He sould interview Willie Jenkins.

***.......Ashamed of community

While many are blaming city, state and federal leaders for the mess in New Orleans, the former hostages tend to be kinder - and more ashamed of what members of their community did.

In part, Willie Jenkins said, the suffering was a result of the pride and stubbornness of New Orleans citizens. Partly, he blames the neighborhood toughs who saw the storm as the chance to briefly seize power.

He hopes, he said, that people elsewhere in the United States recognize that most of those left homeless by Katrina are hard-working family people who happen to live in a poor neighborhood. They should not, he pointed out, be confused with the thugs.

"But," he added sadly, "I guess everybody is lumped together, the good and the bad." ...........***
