Tweety: Tomorrow remaining residents will be taken out of NO by gun point
This was on MSNBC just a few minutes ago.

Anyone know anything about this?

1. By whom? NG? Police? Regular army?
The last I heard the General in charge said he and his men would not be doing this.

5. I think blackwater is doing it
There was a segment on our local news channel in Detroit and the man speaking had on sunglasses and black teeshirts. He was telling his people to "do what you got to do" to get people to leave.

2. Tweety is sentationalizing. Also he did say 'may". He was talking of the
poor who do not want to leave cause they are waiting for a check to arrive in the mailbox.

8. The Army CAN'T be involved-it's against the law (Posse Comitatus)sp?
Not sure about the Nat'l. Guard. It would be up to state and local police and sherrifs departments, if it happens at all.

9. Did they move Hardball so that he wouldn't compete with Cooper?
I am sure more people -- and for a good reason -- are watching CNN at his previous slot these days... Or is it just temporary? Does anyone know?
