Katrina: Medical shipments donated by Italy were left to spoil
State Department officials anguished over whether to tell Italy that its shipments of medicine, gauze and other medical supplies spoiled in the elements for weeks after Katrina's landfall on Aug. 29, 2005, and were destroyed. "Tell them we blew it," one disgusted official wrote. But she hedged: "The flip side is just to dispose of it and not come clean. I could be persuaded."

So BushCo wouldn't help the victims of Katrina -- plus they wouldn't let anyone ELSE help the victims of Katrina either, and they considered covering up their own genocidal incompetence.

But, if we remind our Congresspeople of their rights, Condi is going down.

Arrest Condi (the Senate has the power -- says so right here on senate.gov)
