Politicians Push Agendas Via Katrina Aid
Listen to this story on NPR
Haven't these poor people suffered enough? Santorum actually claims that charity groups should get more money because they are more "efficient" than the government.
This is the horrible thing about these people: they hate government so, even when government fails, they win. Very, very sad.

NPR: FEMA Official Says Agency Heads Ignored Warnings
This NPR story leaves no doubt that FEMA ignored warnings. The question is why? Incompetence? The desire to show that big government isn't necessary?

Pictures of New Orleans from the New York Times
Media coverage of New Orleans
This story about the people trapped in the convention center is really horrible: dead bodys next to the living, no food, a 10-year-old girl raped. They even claim that the looters where actually distributing food they had looted.
The next story talks about civilians "shooting" at rescue crews? Again, have you all heard this kind of thing.
