This is from “Dispatch from the Trenches “web-site that explains the political manueverings that led to emergency communications being cut off, and the delay of goods being supplied and the internment of people in the SuperDome.
If this information is reported in the media, the proper blame will be focused on George Bush and not FEMA Mike Brown who was acting under orders from Bush not to respond to Blanco’s call for help.
Nancy Pelosi is foolishly calling for the firing of Brown, once again the Democrats are too afraid to challenge a President whose incompetent vengeful actions seem to be leading to the destruction of the United States as we now know it.

I need some more facts before I draw such conclusions. However, I really want to know why in the hell they were refusing to let people out of the Superdome and out of the city. Why were there checkpoints? I heard this even on Fox. They won’t let the Red Cross in, because it might encourage people to stay. They declared martial law and “zero tolerance” policy on looters. The supplies they brought in were completely inadequate. Yet, they keep people from leaving the city. This is either colossal bureaucratic ineptitude or genocide. I’m going to wait until more facts come in before I draw a conclusion on that, but whether planned or accidental they caused the deaths of thousands.
This article above gives a cogent expalnation for what appears to have happened. It makes sense.
Already we are finding that access to and from camps is being limited. You have to understand the paranoia (not mine) on the part of the Bush administration in regard to “Negroes”. Here’s a link about concentration camp appearances with the “happy” people who are inside.
Don’t forget it’s the Denver Post. This is not a radical paper.
