Who is being ignored here is the people that took the warning seriously, who did leave before the storm hit, rich, poor, and the middle class - in fact most of the population of New Orleans. They are just as homeless as the people who stayed behind, but yet it is these people who refused to leave, of who's ranks the looters, rapers, arsonist, and killers came from, that are getting all the media attention.
Half my family from Slidell is "displaced". They aren't whining, screaming at the Government, or asking for hand-outs.
