" Access to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard* [snip]
Check this out...
" Access to New Orleans is controlled by the National Guard* and local authorities and while we are in constant contact with them, we simply cannot enter New Orleans against their orders."
And we must not forget that Blanco commands the Louisiana National Guard.
This continues to cycle back to Blanco.
I agree with others that a criminal probe should be underway to find out why Blanco botched so many things.
Why she did not execute her legally mandated responsibilities.
Was it malfeasance or sheer incompetence ?
Her TAG at the Louisiana National Guard should also be documenting the tactical advice he gave her .
And what orders she gave him and when.
And how many hours she needed to think things over.
Interestingly- Lt Col Cowan told O'R that he has been investigating the National Guard timeline and no one will talk. A gag order has been officially or unofficially ordered.
I wonder if Alberto Gonzales will have the stomach to order a federal probe-especially if he thinks he is on the short list for SC ?
