"Compass had come under some criticism in the press lately on charges that he had exaggerated the amount of death and crime at the Superdome and the Convention Center in the aftermath of Katrina."

Maybe he's a crook but he's not responsible for the lies. Those lies came from rumors from people within the Dome who thought they were true, and messaged them out. The media followed.

Check every thread here at FR at the time. It wasn't "Compass said..." but reports from within the Dome.

Excuse me, but if the guy thought that was true, he should have had his ass and a bunch of cops inside the Dome with his weapon drawn. He's the (or was) freak'n head LEO for that city!

The best I could say for this guy was that he was totally incompetent. And I have to forget about basic logic to think that. He is a political hack and someone, probably from Baton Rouge working with someone in the D(n)C vetting with media "consultants" in NYC, was writing his tag lines for him.

Even a 60 I.Q. boob wouldn't screw the pooch like this clown did.

Compass was spreading the lies along with everyone else. I .

From the L.A. Times:

Nagin and Police Chief Eddie Compass appeared on "Oprah" a few days after trouble at the Superdome had peaked.

Compass told of "the little babies getting raped" at the Superdome. And Nagin made his claim about hooligans raping and killing.
