Briton slams US rescue 'shambles'

-snip-

Police officers had taken "souvenir" photographs of stranded people begging for help, he added.

-snip-

"I could not describe how bad the authorities were - taking photographs of us as we are standing on the roof waving for help, for their own personal photo albums, little snapshot photographs."

He said at one point a group of girls was standing on the roof of the hotel lobby and called to passing rescuers for help.

"They said to them 'well show us what you've got' - doing signs for them to lift their t-shirts up. The girls said no, and they said 'well fine', and motored off down the road in their motorboat.

"That's the sort of help we had from the authorities," he said.

Mr Scott added: "The only information we got from anybody in authority was if a policeman came past and we shouted to them out of the windows.

Patrolled

"The only information we ever got off them was negative, 'Do not go here. Do not go there'.

"There was no, 'Are you OK? Are you safe? Have you got water?'.

"Most of the time they would ignore us."

-snip-

When they were finally rescued it had been by Louisiana game wardens, who had entered the hotel with rifles and fixed bayonets, Mr Scott said.

Now back in the UK, he said he was worried about the effect the experience had had on his son.

"He was fantastic - but he has been exposed to things no seven-year-old should ever see and it is bound to come out in the future."

2. Wonder if Blair will be pressured to get out of the war now?
I'll bet the Brits don't want to play "servant of the empire" to a country that can't even protect its own.
