The toll of Katrina is about to jump

[Atman]

Leslie Blitzer is reporting a breaking story...an entire town in Mississippi being cordoned off, with "a large number of bodies" inside. Building a 4 1/2 mile barbed wire fence around Long Beach.

Oh god. Kenyon

Maybe the count won't go up after all.

:cry:

[DoYouEverWonder]

1. There will probably be some more of this over the next week

Especially in LA, now that the Governor took back control of retrieving the bodies. We'll see.

[Atman]

2. She took back control, but didn't she still contract with Kenyon?

Kenyon is BAAAAD. Crony corp of Bush's. He perjured himself for them back when he was gov of TX. Their parent, SCI, was busted for dumping and desecrating bodies, emptying tombs to make way for more bodies (double selling crypt space), and all sorts of terrible things that make them the absolute worst choice to do this job. I they are the company you're referring to, this is very bad indeed.

8. This town is in Mississippi not Louisana

I don't know who is in charge of the bodies in Mississippi

[Atman]

12. Whoops, good point. But isn't Haley "Bushbot" Barbour the gov of MS?

He's probably the one who called Kenyon in the first place.

[DoYouEverWonder]

9. Who else could she contract with?

Looks like they are the only game in town at the moment.

I don't see people leaping out of windows to do this work?

[demgrrrll]

15. That was my first question too. Does anyone have a list or at least one

other option that she had at this time?

[KingFlorez]

3. Who's Leslie Blitzer?

:wtf:

[Caution]

4. That is "Wolf" Blitzer's real name

Can you imagine the job interview?

"Hi I'm Leslie Blitzer. Call me Wolf"
"Bwahahahahah are you kidding?"
"No."

[iconoclastic cat]

7. Bwaaa! That was funny.

"Surely you're kidding!"
"No. And don't call me Shirley."

[KingFlorez]

14. That's hilarious

I knew Wolf couldn't possibly be his real name

[mourningdove92]

5. please keep us cube rats posted

[underpants]

6. That is horrible news

[kma3346]

10. Barbed wire fence???

Why in the HELL do they need to build a barbed-wire fence around this area? They've already forced everyone to leave the area by means of armed mercenaries, military, police, and national guard. There is only one reason I can think of for them to do this: to hide the truth about the body count. I am beyond disgusted.

Why isn't anyone in the media bringing up Kenyon and their questionable reputation. Just when you think it can't get any worse....

21. EVERYTHING is a secret with these criminals -- everything.

11. Oh no

13. Is Long Beach a republican or a Democratic area?

[Atman]

16. CNN just described it as "upper middle class"

They said that BushCo was telling them the barbed wire was to fend off looters. But then the reporter said a military guy told him that they discovered a huge debri field, so thick with -- ugh -- that they couldn't even get in yet. Why that requires 4 1/2 miles of barbed wire I don't know. But it is very, very scary. Thousands of bodies are about to be disappeared by BushCo.

[mourningdove92]

17. The way CNN has started behaving like a REAL news

organization lately, I have some hope that they will find a way to show the truth there.

[mourningdove92]

18. anything new on this story?

I at work with no tv, but this is very disturbing to me.

[NYC]

19. CNN won't be allowed inside the barbed wire, will they?

[walldude]

20. I read something earlier today

where they are making reporters stay 300 yards away from any recovery work. Damage control is in full gear now.

[NYC]

27. Maybe a zoom lens can handle the distance.

It will be interesting if they hang sheets/drapes/curtains on that barbed wire.

26. don't know but it's very wealthy, i'll assume it being miss. most are gop

they were one area of the coast that just laughed & did not need to have any casinos on their beachfront

the destruction is incredible in that area

whatever sins they committed they have paid

let them rest in peace

[RagAss]

22. If a fire starts then we'll know for sure what happened n/m

[leftofthedial]

23. 1500 bodies discovered

increasing the official death toll to 62.

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. Where did you see that?

Got a link?

Thanks.

[Atman]

28. LOL!

Or cry out loud. Still, it was a good slap at ChimpCo.

[pitohui]

24. i knew it wouldn't be good in long beach

waveland to gulfport v. hard hit

the ppl i know in that area are homeless, not one stick on a stick left

if you didn't evacuate i hate to think

oh god it's just so distressing

the count will go up, this is a very wealthy area, no way to hide those dead, too much paper trail

[Barrett808]

29. MIchael Moore says, "dead bodies everywhere," no FEMA, little Red Cross

[pitohui]

31. moore is right

the rural counties and parishes have been overlooked

it's scary

that said, i would be surprised if there were many in long beach to rescue

it is a terrible tragedy

[brettdale]

30. Oh No

That is awful.

is there any weblinks yet?
