All of those lives were saved by the crews of just 17 helicopters, during 1,500 flight hours in the air.

This just about makes you sob with joy and gratitude.

This has to be the largest helicopter rescue in the history of the world.

I hope that sometime, somewhere, these great heroes get the recognition that they deserve. I was so angered by the weeping and wailing of the MSM during the rescue operations that I feared I'd stroke out. Picture after picture of the Coast Guard rescuing people and the newsies complaining about the Federal Response. God Bless the Coast Guard and all our military. As someone said, the military is one place where we get our monies worth--and more!

One of the reason the C.G. could act so quickly is because it had the authority to act. C.G. has authority to conduct search and rescue in the coastal and navigational areas of this country.

The C.G. had the authority to act without waiting to get the OK from State Governor.

I wonder who the AP writer thought all those O.D. Blackhawks belonged to?

Katrina, What Went Right

As investigation of the response to the hurricane proceeds it needs to include a serious examination of the news media's portrayal of events.

Rather than present stories as they were encountered the news gathering agencies interpreted events based on rumor, hearsay, partial information, unconfirmed facts, lack of investigation, and with misdirected angst that had the cumulative effect of misinforming the world.

This is really no surprise, just business as usual. It is the magnitude of events that amplified the voice of the press and magnified the egregious nature of their failings.
