The Fox News Channel's Major Garrett made another appearance on the program this evening, following up on his blockbuster story yesterday. Among other things, Garrett got confirmation --on camera-- of the Louisian State department of Homeland Security's blocking of the delivery of relief supplies to the Superdome and the Convention Center. In addition, Garrett received confirmation from senior Salvation Army officials in Washington, D.C. that the Salvation Army's efforts at supplying the evacuees were also repeatedly blocked. Radioblogger will have the transcript up later, but the key takeaway was when I asked Garrett if characterizing Louisian's preparation for the storm as "abysmal" was accurate and he confirmed that indeed it was. Read the whole thing.
I also asked Garrett why no other network is on this story. He can't offer an answer for that, event hough he points out that this isn't a hard story to get, and Fox News needn't be credited. All CNN has to do (or MSNBC or CBS) is call the Red Cross and get a camera over there.

So. Is it the Salvation Army? Or the Red Cross? I saw both in the main post here.

Those MSM bastards don't care. All they want to do is blame Bush and interject racism.
To: Dog
I think it was the Red Cross. And the Governor is allegedly the one blocking it.
Almost makes you think they're buying time for their boys to loot the city.

So Blanco kept the Red Cross AND the Salvatin Army at bay while Nagin refused to transport anyone anywhere. I'm running out of room on my tagline...

To: Dog
Okay...now this is beginning to seem sinister. Did they actually keep the help of the Red Cross and Salvation Army out of NO to cause a crisis to get the President? Who cooked this up? I honestly put nothing past the lowest scum politicians in our history.
To: thoughtomator
It's both....read the article.

Criminal. Evil. Work of the devil.
I hope the Salvation Army shouts loud and long about this.
