WT????? The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.”

Louisiana Gov Kathleen B. Blanco controls both the Louisiana National Guard and the state Homeland Security Department. Through both entities she is keeping the Red Cross out of this desperate city.

She furthermore announced in her news conference Friday night that she was immediately forming a new state based Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation and requesting that contributions be sent there for the relief effort (Send the money to HER new foundation instead of the Red Cross????)

During Shep's melt down yesterday he said he had never seen even one Red Cross vehicle or person the whole time he was there.

I'm not a big RC fan, prefer Salvation Army, but it looks like this one wasn't their fault. It was Blankout's fault.
