Does anyone else think the Washington Post's story on denied Katrina aid is HUGE

[Hawaii Hiker]

or is it me....I think this is a H-U-G-E story, I haven't seen that much coverage of it other than the original WP story, & briefly on NBC....

Pause for a moment & think if Texas had a tornado when Clinton was in office, also pretend that tornado did damage along the lines of Katrina...Now, pretend the Clinton administration turned down money & supplies from numerous countries - what would the media (print & TV) be saying?...

Rejecting & delaying aid to the victims of Katrina was reprensible, disgraceful, deplorable, & this adminsitration could go down as the worst in history FOR THIS ALONE, not evening counting the other million or so things one can take into consideration....

1. I do agree that this too requires thorough investigations;

here especially there is a distinct whiff of not just the (usual) rank incompetence but maybe of something more sinister...

16. Like starving them out.

so developers can buy the land for taxes and put in upscale housing.

[merh]

2. yes, I think it is huge

our local news covered it, but then again, Katrina crushed us, so it matters a great deal here.

3. You should add a link to the story

maybe a couple paragraphs from it.

I'd bet you get on the the greatest list if you do... best way to spread the story

4. Of course it's a huge story.

We all know it. It just seems that the media don't. They don't care apparently. They just want to move on. All I know is everytime the subject of hurricanes or Katrina comes up, I will remind everyone in the room about the Bush administration rejecting aid to the victims of Katrina.

[Faux pas]

5. Yes, it is huge and downright SICKENING. How dare they

refuse aid to those devastated people? I don't understand it, unless the rumors I've heard are true. Big business wants all that prime real estate.

6. I do! nt

7. In other administrations it would be a HUGE scandal

in this admin it's just day to day business that the press has learned to ignore in favor of missing white women.
I would guess that of the top twenty scandals in history of the presidency, this guy has racked up 19 of them.

8. yes. and why it's not getting more play is amazing to me.

[jwirr]

9. Yes, I was delighted to see it in the Duluth News-Tribune on Sunday.

[progressoid]

10. Nope

It only affects poor people, Black people, and Democrats.

Do I have to add this?... :sarcasm:

11. Of course it's hugh!

Gawd, another hugh story! Do you know how much "investigative reporting" costs?!?!? All the stories breaking now, years after some of them should have because of the corporate media's behavior, are gobbling up valuable resources better spent on other things.....

12. i agree that it is huge

i call it genocide

there's another story out there that i believe is huge and that is the story of the US Attorney from Guam who was summarily fired the day after he subpoenaed Abramoff. it's clear what the bushies were striving toward. they have succeeded to a great extent and if congress does not get off their asses and start moving on impeachment and indictments for very real crimes that have cost so many people so much...hell. i'm exploring out of country options in case they're still in power in 3 years when my son turns 18.

[Graybeard]

13. Imagine how it is playing in the countries that offered the aid...

...The world was horrified at the original lack of response by our government to the suffering of our own people. What do they think now of a country that rebuffed and even ignored these offers of help? What has happened to America?

[tavalon]

14. It was huge the first time it came out and it's huge now

That said, the MSM will do their damnest to bury it. I hope we don't allow them to.

[OneBlueSky]

15. it IS huge, but it's just one of about a hundred huge stories regarding BushCo . . . n/t
