100-150 Homes Not Searched In NOLA...And Won't Be.

[Carla in Ca]

Although this is not surprising, it is still very sad. I find it hard to believe that this administration can just move on without being held accountable for the mistreatment of these poor people.
When you read the comments at both links, some think the R's don't want a NO body count to reach a 'magical' number of 1000. Some say they don't want it to exceed the toll from 9/11. IMHO, it is much more simple than that...They. Don't. Care.
But also in the comments, this is being linked to other sites for better exposure, including Crooks & Liars. That will help keep it alive and perhaps get some answers.

Searchers and residents insist there are still plenty of dead to find in New Orleans. Once again, they say the Ninth Ward is being ignored because it is poor and black. Here's CNN's Jeanne Meserve.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JEANNE MESERVE, CNN HOMELAND SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: (voice- over): In pulverized portions of New Orleans's Ninth Ward, where water flows, instead of traffic, most homes bear the signs that search teams have been in to look for the living and the dead, but not in one area that spans several blocks. Here, house after house after house is unmarked.

EDWARD MENDEL, SEARCH VOLUNTEER: From here back, I estimate 100 to 150 homes that are still unsearched. And I do expect we will probably find some bodies.

MESERVE (on camera): Why do you think that?

MENDEL: You can smell them as we drive by.

snip...

As we ponder William Bennett's racist comment the evidence of American racism is going almost un-noticed in NO. Tell me if this was a white neighborhood that those homes would go unsearched. We went to great pains to recover every little bit of human remains at Ground Zero but in Black America we won't even bother to pick up bodies. This is an outrage. That practically no one is saying so is even more outrageous. How quickly we forget. Let's not forget these people's dignity Again.
