"Opening the convention center and the Superdome for evacuees without adequate water, food, first-aide, security and sanitary needs was poor planning. "

Dont know about the convention center but the Superdome had 3 days supply for 15000 people.

Unfortunately they didnt get relief until after three days........

  - One thing you said, in all of that glop, was meaningful - DL - 9/23/2005 1:42:16 AM
    - You missed the main point and dodged others - SDAI-Tech1 - 9/23/2005 2:15:45 AM
      - Which was easy, because there was no main point, nor any others - DL - 9/23/2005 3:00:43 AM

        Oh, don't worry- I have no fear that you'll 'pull a Brosz' - DL - 9/24/2005 7:22:14 AM

        Sorry, DL. A story simply mentioning the existence of the convention center doesn't make it. - Tom Brosz - 9/24/2005 3:55:10 AM
        
        Oh, for chrissake- This is getting silly... Does it have to be a Major Motion Picture starring Mel Gibson? - DL - 9/24/2005 6:19:17 AM
        
        Okay, so yuour dropping the crap about the lack of media coverage before the 1st? - DL - 9/24/2005 2:14:14 AM

        I had no problem with it. - Tom Brosz - 9/24/2005 1:46:59 AM

      - I'm sure you will support me then in calling for the immediate termination of all FEMA employees. - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 11:20:38 PM
        
        Only if you will also call for the immediate trials and subsequent incarceration of every single employee of Enron. - Mary Anne - 9/21/2005 11:27:22 PM
        
        P.S. the same should go for all FEMA contractors... - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 11:26:54 PM
        
        You can include Halliburton on that list now. - Mary Anne - 9/21/2005 11:28:27 PM

        Lets assume everyone knew the levy was going to fail 60-70 hours before Katrina. - Scott Evil - 9/21/2005 8:40:22 PM
        
        Thats sort of the point- they *should* have known the levees were going to fail 36-48 hours out, and ended up doing nothing - DL - 9/21/2005 10:10:50 PM
