6. CNN has done an incredible job ...

Reporting on katrina's aftermath and the complete failure to initiate an adequate relief effort.

They have carefully reported on the human tragedy and the governmental failure.

12. I have to admit, they knocked my socks off.

It was like they were reading DU. They said that the levee disaster was preventable. The weakness was known. They (Jack Cafferty) even said there was no one, not conservative nor liberal who was giving Bush high marks for his response.

Cafferty was so critical, that he ended by saying that he would probably be audited by the government for speaking so freely.

2. Talking about the fact that people knew the levees needed fixing and the

draining of wetlands was a problem.

7. Ulitmately a very short spot on what went wrong ahead of time, now

focusing on the lack of military troops helping out. Have a FatherLand talking head quoting numbers of how many troops will be coming in.

Says the La governor is not getting what she asked for numberwise.
NG leader is being quoted as saying that no one was prepared for this.
