CNN said that the public hospital was not evacuated because someone had
shot at the helicopter which delayed evacuation for at least 2 days.
Also I head a National Public Radio interview with the head of FEMA in
which he said that the reports of presence of people at the Convention
Center was something based upon "anecdotal" reports which couldn't be
taken seriously.  The interviewer pointed out that these were seasoned
professional journalists who had been in many disasters and war zones. 
In addition, the FEMA chief seemed totally unaware that there was
extensive video footage of the scene showing continuously. Bush and
Cheney are now going to investigate the government's delay.
