I've heard these stories for three days now. Do we have any evidence that these murders and rapes and beatings actually took place? Have the authorities collected the bodies of those murdered? Have raped women come forward to attest to the attacks described?

I am not saying that incidents have not occurred, but in a situation like this stories are told and retold and take a life of their own. Here in NYC the stories passed among the cops of terrorists stealing Verizon trucks and ambulances to attack the workers at ground Zero were rampant. No such events occurred. I think it should be a priority for the authorities to determine what has really happened in NOLA and what has become urban legemd.

"Officially," there have been no deaths in New Orleans since last Sunday. Not even hurricane related.
