If FEMA was doing anything like it been charged it was probably because the local organization had fallen apart. If they did attempt to cut his lines it may have been that they were harming more than helping.

The phone lines that were cut were those for the parish forces who were repairing the biggest levee break in NOLA. They spent over two days fixing it.

I don't blame FEMA for everything by any means. But these accusations will have evidence and witnesses. We'll find out.

"The phone lines that were cut were those for the parish forces who were repairing the biggest levee break in NOLA. They spent over two days fixing it."

Now that is the funniest thing I've heard yet. Your are right that we will eventually know the facts but even on the face of it that is ridiculous. Parish forces should have been doing what they were suppose to do and that wasn't one of them. That early in a crisis FEMA does not control that kind of asset if they ever even would which I doubt unless the local ERO fell completely apart.

Please do a little reading for yourself to try to understand how all of this is suppose to work.
