By the way, this is good news - if it turns out to be true, and if the SIZE of the forces entering NO are adaquate.

By the way, that "interdictor" blog on livejournal is about one of the best for up-to-the-minute info.

I'm really surprised and concerned about the SLOWNESS of government response. It should really be about doing EVERYTHING as fast as possible, as all Issues to be dealt with intersect with and affect each other: fix the levees then restart the pumps, restore order (stop looting and violence), rescue those trapped, get an armada of busses to get the superdome people out, get water to the city, etc. etc. EVERYTHING needs to be done at the SAME TIME. I guess it really is just that NO-ONE's in charge. And no one around the Little Emperor is stepping up to the plate. I almost want to say, where's Al Haig when you need him?
