Some Reports of N.O. Violence Exaggerated



Some?!

finding that many of them have little or no basis in fact.



I hold politicians in higher esteem than I do 99% of the news-media. It was these "reports" that everyone was relying on that also prevented help from reaching certain areas in a timely fashion. One of the first rules in a rescue operation is to ensure an ability to rescue, which means protecting the rescue teams and their assets.

We have never found anybody who has any first-hand knowledge...


So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

In fairness, in at least one instance a news report managed to get help to a group of people who had not been discovered by rescuers yet.

No! Next thing you know, someone will be admitting that the war in Iraq isn't going quite as well as the chickenhawks are claiming.



Or as badly as all the chicken littles are claiming.
