Here's a part of this I'm unsure about. We know that hundreds of buses, both city transit and Orleans Parish school buses, were left abandoned and unused in this mess. And those buses could have taken tens of thousands of people out of New Orleans and presumably to safety. But...had Hizzoner and the New Orleans and Louisiana state Homeland Security dweebs worked out anyplace to actually HOUSE the tens of thousands of elderly, poor, indigent, handicapped, or otherwise unable-to-get-out-on-their-own people? Did Ray Nagin or Governor Blanco have anyplace arranged to actually handle those people?

The published and approved Louisiana state emergency plan spoke to the use of busses to transport those New Orleanians unable to transport themselves.

So far as I can tell, it did not address a.) where to take them or b.) what to do with them once they arrived.

Which could, of course, explain why they didn't follow "the plan"...
