Thanks, Ursus.

Ironman, why are you sticking up for this guy? Do you work with him? List some things that Nagin did to plan/orchestrate the evacuation.

The libs are trying to hang the administration out to dry for this when the local/state officials did nothing. We're just making sure the record has a chance to be set straight before the MSM distorts it, as usual.

And here is the link, again, where Nagin/Blanco didn't order the evacuation till Sunday, NOT Saturday.

I was there and the mayor was on TV on Saturday calling for an Evacuation.

His evacuation request on Saturday may have something to do with all Interstate lanes going outbound on Saturday afternoon.

From the Article you posted:

She said Interstate 10, which was converted Saturday so that all lanes headed one-way out of town, was total gridlock.

Why would they convert all lanes to Contraflow if an evacuation was not called?
