Hi. I posted most of it the other day. What interested me the most was that it is becoming very obvious that N.O. did not follow their own plan. So how can they blame the Feds when they did not even bother taking care of their own obligations as spelled out in this plan?
bttt, plan? what plan? Shesh, just when the media is taking the mayor off the hook.
NPR: Does this mean the emergency plans are working? Maybe we should go over what the plans were?
Blanco: We have to hold tight, let it happen then pick up the pieces after it's all over.

If this was Bush he'd be labled a bigot, insensitive and incompetent.

I was in downtown New Orleans shooting Hurricane Katrina video and documented the last few days of the City before it died.

When all the resources for the plan end up in fraud, graft, and payoff land, this "plan" isn't even worth the paper its written on.
Rush was talking about this today because he got a lot of email from people saying they had not heard they even was an emergency plan - and Rush spent some time on it reading a lot of the pertinent parts.
Plan?
Well, hell! the Mayor can't read...
just a bookmark.
Revisiting this thread, I find that the New Orleans
"Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan" is no longer on the city's website for all to see. Now that link leads to an "Access Denied" message. Hmmm...
