[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 2538237, member: 15651"] Oh, and on the ineptitude of the Feds, I heard an interview on NPR yesterday with Michael Chertoff, Secretary of homeland Security, who is now responsible for FEMA. The NPR anchor was asking him about the people trapped at the Convention Center without food and water. Chertoff replied that they had no confirmation about this and that the media should not be reporting on rumors and stating them as facts. The achor said they had a reporter on another line who was at the scene, that this was [i]not[/i] a rumor, but Chertoff kept putting it off as unconfirmed reports. Apparently later a spokesperson from the DHS called to tell NPR that they had received confirmation of the conditions at the Convention Center and were working to get food and water to the area. Obviously there are communications issues, but it also sounds like there is little to no organization on a larger scale. [/QUOTE]
