i am concerned...

...that people are already forgetting their outrage at the Katrina catastrophe as Bush's admin spins out their twisted stories.

Found another first-hand account, written by two Paramedics stuck in NO: Hurricane Katrina, Our Experiences.

As we approached the bridge, armed Gretna sheriffs formed a line across the foot of the bridge. Before we were close enough to speak, they began firing their weapons over our heads. This sent the crowd fleeing in various directions. As the crowd scattered and dissipated, a few of us inched forward and managed to engage some of the sheriffs in conversation. We told them of our conversation with the police commander and of the commander's assurances. The sheriffs informed us there were no buses waiting. The commander had lied to us to get us to move.

We questioned why we couldn't cross the bridge anyway, especially as there was little traffic on the 6-lane highway. They responded that the West Bank was not going to become New Orleans and there would be no Superdomes in their City. These were code words for if you are poor and black, you are not crossing the Mississippi River and you were not getting out of New Orleans.

Oh, and did you hear? Fuhrer Bush has decided that it will be he who will personally head an investigation into Katrina. Oh yeah, and, just like with the Iraq dead, no photos may be taken of the dead in New Orleans. Out of sight, out of mind, they must figure.
