Boy this Karl Rove fellow is Evil.
LOL. Isn't he.
Yeah, he is, pretending to be this LA state homeland security representative that told this to the Red Cross in an obvious attempt to slander the great work the state and local officials have done! < /sarcasm>
BRING ON THE HEARINGS!
And he's EVERYWHERE! LOL
Misinformation
Part of the New Homeland Security contract (federal govt) with the states keeps Red Cross out of disaster areas. They are only allowed in after the area is no longer a disaster as their presence could keep people from evacuating. That's the national policy. That might look good on paper but since the evacuation locations were still inside NOLA (convention center, superdome, highways) Red Cross was not allowed to help these people. Red Cross was also not allowed to help
inside the hospitals. This policy works with all relief efforts (Salvation Army, ect). You can call the Red Cross and confirm: Red Cross National Affairs number (202-303-5551).
