Cheney Visits Hurricane Evacuee Sites

-snip-

While he was at the Austin Convention Center shelter, about two dozen protesters gathered outside chanting, "Cheney, Cheney, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide."

-snip-

The NFL team the Houston Texans plays its first home game at Reliant Stadium on Sept. 18, but Harris County Judge Robert Eckels said that was not a factor in trying to get all of the evacuees moved.

"This is a shelter, not a home, and it will not become a refugee center," Eckels said.

1. Yes, but this could actually be more than just a chant
The US is signatory to the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide......I'm not legally well-informed enough to know what the logistics would be, but isn't this international agreement something we could take recourse to here?

2. paraphrasing barbara bush
Well, I am surprised no one has said.
"We have an inept government, the thousands of poor, hopeless, homeless people is all right for us. This is good enough for us."

I do think that some land should be secured, and the army corps of engineers should start building housing. this is a huge country, surely there must be some land available.

I just hope they dont move people to Indian reservations.
The long march is before them anyway you look at it.
