FEMA thwarted AMTRAK?
Listening to a local AAR affliate, the host was reading information that AMTRAK had offered to bring in trains to evacuate people from NO. AMTRAK is saying that FEMA "was dragging its feet and not giving the ok." It sounded like he was getting this off of Sen. Mary Landrieu's website. I am not finding it. Anyone know about this?

1. Yes. I did hear about that but have no source to reference.
Peace.

Mary Landrieu, the Democratic US senator from Louisiana, accused the Federal Emergency Management Agency of having "dragging its feet" when Amtrak offered trains to evacuate victims.
