Why it took so long for them to get a clue is another issue. But I don't see anyone saying it's not the Fed's job. What I see as an issue that will be ignored is why there are so many resources after the fact, but not before. I've also heard that one of the major differences is that Louisiana did not follow the example of Alabama and Mississippi in activating their state quardsmen in advance of the hurricane. They did, about 3600 of them. And Louisiana activated their NG -before- both Alabama and Mississippi. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

If activivated, it certainly wasn't carried out the way it was supposed. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
