A Question Of Priorities
With martial law in effect, the National Guard is running New Orleans. They're not allowing the Red Cross to enter the city.
As government officials continue to defend their failure to get supplies to the city and evacuate the refugees, they've had time to award a reconstruction contract to Halliburton. As reported by the Houston Chronicle, "the Navy has hired Houston-based Halliburton Co. to restore electric power, repair roofs and remove debris at three naval facilities in Mississippi damaged by Hurricane Katrina."
Former FEMA Director Joe Allbaugh has been a "consultant" for Halliburton subsidiary KBR since March. Allbaugh was named FEMA Director after running Bush's campaigns for Governor and President.
I will post additional items as factors warrant.
