To: Peace will be here soon

Henry Lee was on Nightline and said FEMA stole his radio antenna...

I have never seen so much blame deflected elsewhere for a place that was so unprepared.

Did they?


It sounds like this Sherrif was little more on top of things than most of the other officials around him. The Mayor of NO and the Governor should be brought up on charges for some of the things they did. But should one good guy suffer with the rest?

Well it would make sense for FEMA to want to use any operational radio towers in the area.

I guess what happened was they didn`t tell the sheriff when they did take the radio tower over, which would be wrong for FEMA to have done.

From reading about this sheriff, he probably didn`t want anyone taking over his radio communications from his officers on the ground at all. That would have made it hard on FEMA, and now I am starting to see the rift between these agencies.

It sounds more like a "lack of communication" than anything. : )
