Murder and mayhem in New Orleans' miserable shelter

<snip>He then offered to show reporters the dead bodies of a man in a wheelchair, a young man who he said he dragged inside just hours earlier, and the limp forms of two infants, one just four months old, the other six months old.

"They died right here, in America, waiting for food," Fouchea said as he walked toward Hall D, where the bodies were put to get them out of the searing heat.

He said people were let die and left without food simply because they were poor and that the evacuation effort earlier concentrated on the French Quarter of the city. "Because that's where the money is," he spat.

A National Guardsman refused entry.

"It doesn't need to be seen, it's a make-shift morgue in there," he told a Reuters photographer. "We're not letting anyone in there anymore. If you want to take pictures of dead bodies, go to Iraq."

1. Well they won't show pix of dead soldiers, you think they'd

show such upsetting things that would damage beautiful minds?

2. Don't like the idea of some jarhead with a gun deciding what gets reported

And what doesn't. It don't sit right with me.

3. They will never give an accurate count of the dead

Just like Iraq, too.

5. and no INTERVIEWS with SURVIVORS (not REFUGEES) from lake george

they are cutting off the b-roll right after name-rank-sn-hi_mom, that's it... though a whole lot is slipping out with the reporters in the middle of lake george.

the 'LOOTING' rumors are a vicious COVER STORY for their gross negligence!

6. They are not allowing the reporters to go anywhere now

Notice no more coverage of the convention center or anything else. All coverage ended after they got their split screen showing bush arriving and the relief trucks arriving.

They have locked down not only the poor people in the convention center but they have also locked out the reporters.

7. That's what Bush meant when he said "We now have the area secured." =

"My thugs are in place. No more tattling on me."
