Katrina Response Mismanagement

[scaeagles]

I agree, Nephy.

Jesse Jackson gets out and says that the superdome looks like the hold of a slave ship. What? Has Jesse Jackson ever seen a slave ship?

Moveon.org is planning on using images of Katrina victims in anti-Roberts ads. What?

"The connection is obvious," Brandzel (moveon.org's advocacy director)said. "The images after Hurricane Katrina show we still live in a society where significant racial inequities exist. We believe John Roberts' record on civil rights ... is clearly not the direction our country needs to head now."

I could continue to cite many more examples, but there's no point to it.

There are TONS of examples of criticism that is not constructive nor helpful to finding a solution or solutions to problems that clearly exist in emergency preparedness and response. I have no problem with anyone pointing out the failings of FEMA or the governor of LA or the mayor of NO or whomever. Those things can be constructive. Comparisons of the Superdome to a slave ship? Accomplishes nothing.
