More Katrina Stuff

Apparently, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army were ready to move in to the afflicted areas right after the hurricane hit and before the worst of the flooding, but they were stopped from doing so by the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security, who didn't want people gathering at the Superdome and such places, they wanted people to leave town (how?). Video available here. So as you hear more people pointing blame towards the feds, remember this further screw-up of the state.
