I see now why the journalists are being shot in Iraq. I'm watching
the military, FEMA, and gov't telling everyone how well things are going and then CNN shows the people who haven't eaten or drunk anything in 4 days, the people who can't get out, the areas with no NG or military.

The government I guess cannot tell the truth under any circumstances.

1. Thank God the media seems to have grown a spine
If we believed the BS coming out the White Haus, we wouldn't have a CLUE about what's truly going on in NO.

2. If they keep this up, they will ban reporters from going there.
and allow only imbeds.

5. they're already restricted to the 6th and above levels at the stadium
they're reporting that people WANT to be on camera for once

3. this is exactly like iraq - lies on tv while the people are hurting
and being called criminals/insurgents

when water and food would help the anger lessen
they send buses - empty - no water and no food on them

they send troops to ride around with trucks, tanks and guns but no water or food - this sucks
