Hurricane & Aftermath VS Another Terrorist Attack (rant & news link)

[WePurrsevere]

If BushCo can't handle a flippin' hurricane (that gave us how many days notice?) & it's aftermath why should I believe that BushCo will do any better handling a REAL (not LIHOP or MIHOP) terrorist attack? They've had years to make things better and still they get failing grades on security that would NOT effect our Constitutional rights. Instead of doing things that would truly make a difference they do unconstitution and illegal wire tapping on US citzens and want to play porn spy with MSN, Yahoo and Google search engines.(They probably want to know where they can find to really good stuff to be all santimonious about while secretly drooling and getting off on it.)

Anyway, as a parent with grown "free spirit" children of my own the following article in AOL news (front page) got me furious and disgusted all over again. If there is any justice whether karmic or divine I truly hope and pray that it bites Bushco and his cronies in the backside HARD. :grr:

Victims of Katrina Tangled in Bureaucracy Months Later, Couple Learns Son, Wife Died in Hurricane

HARLINGEN, Texas (Jan. 21) - After Hurricane Katrina socked the central Gulf Coast, Eldo and Julia Allen watched the news and waited in vain for word from their son in Biloxi, Miss.

They waited for nearly four months, not knowing the horrific truth: that their son and daughter-in-law died as the storm surge swallowed their Beach Boulevard apartment. That their bodies had long since been found and identified at the Harrison County, Miss., coroner's office. And that they were about to be "disposed of" after going so long unclaimed.

"Nobody talked to nobody," Eldo Allen said, his voice wrapped in grief. "That's why we just was almost too late. If we'd been a little later they would have disposed of the bodies with 'next of kin unknown,' and that would have been..."

He bowed his head over a dining room table laden with family photo albums, sympathy cards from the retirement community, and the black box holding his son's ashes, before completing his thought: "That would have been more than I could stand."
