See Nagin's statements at http://www.nola.com/newslogs/breakingtp/ - section entitled Nagin said slow response cost lives' - is he admitting it?
Thanks for the link. I saw this and wondered what world this good doctor was in?
"I never felt threatened and I walked around the entire place," Stephens said. "I was talking to people, administering first aid. But people were ready to get out of there. The conditions were horrid and horrible. The stench was unbearable. If we had electricity, it would have been so much better."
But Stephens stopped short of placing blame on authorities for not responding to the needs of the city sooner. He said it would have been impossible to have the required number of buses arranged that were required to evacuate such a large number of evacuees.
"Buses were running (regular routes) to other places," he said. "If you own a bus company and had that many buses available, you would be out of business."
It's not on that page....
