Faked Levee Repair for Bush Photo Op: Senator Mary Landreiu's press release says it all:
http://americablog.blogspot.com/2005/09/bush-faked-levee-repair-for-photo-op.html

Here's her quote:

"But perhaps the greatest disappointment stands at the breached 17th
Street levee. Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a Presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment.


Here's another unforgivable action brought to you by Bush and Company:

Barring the Red Cross from delivering food.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05246/565143.stm
By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

As the National Guard delivered food to the New Orleans convention center yesterday, American Red Cross officials said that federal emergency management authorities would not allow them to do the same.

Other relief agencies say the area is so damaged and dangerous that they doubted they could conduct mass feeding there now.

"The Homeland Security Department has requested and continues to request that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans," said Renita Hosler, spokeswoman for the Red Cross.

"Right now access is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities. We have been at the table every single day . We cannot get into New Orleans against their orders."



I'm sure the list goes on and on. They people should be put in jail-- AFTER they clean up the shit and debris and corpses and go door to door looking for survivors (or victims) with the National Guard...
