What a bunch of lying BS. They know better too, that is the worse part of all. They know how this government works, or at least they should. The power is with the state first.

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

Of course they know what they are saying. Careful reading of the article reveals this.
1) The header says" government officials dodge blame" this does not refer to a particular or specific government or official. In this way they are not on record as saying the feds actually acted improperly.

2) The lead paragraph then names Pres. Bush and refers to his "botched plan". The rest of the story does not give one supporting fact to the assertions in the lead. It merely quotes anecdotal testimony by non expert witnesses, and describes the deplorable conditions in New Orleans. Here, a vague reference to some "botched plan" and then a discription of the deplorable conditions. Again, no open factual charge being levied against anyone in particular, just that insidious linking of Pres. Bush to the hell hole that is now New Orleans.

This was purposefully misleading and a blatant and intentional misrepresentation of the facts at their disposal, designed to get readers to draw the conclusion that was not supported by facts which, of course never appear in the article.

I suppose the "botched plan" is that the administration expected the duly elected state officials starting with the governor to follow through with the evacuation plan that had been designed.
