No comment Rickets?


Because you insist...

This incident took place a week after the hurricane and is not related
to the rumors we discussed earlier.

Pathetic. If you can't even own up to the inconsequential mistakes you
make in usenet postings, I shudder to think about what you're like in
real life.

We were discussing the immediate aftermath and the lame excuse used by
FEMA that they couldn't come in because people were shooting at the
rescue helicopters. Once the Army arrived on Friday (2 September)
this phase was over.

**Media Lied, People Died**

"...efforts to evacuate by helicopter some of the 200 patients at New
Orleans' Charity Hospital were halted for a day because of reports of
sniper fire. According to CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, two patients died
awaiting evacuation. "The inability to get people out of these hospitals is
frightening," he said. Could he have known false reporting from his own
employer had contributed to this nightmare?..."

Hope this helps!!

It's frightening to think the military makes their decisions based on what
CNN reports. I guess if you need to cover your ass, that's as good as any
other excuse. One the other hand, one wonders why they didn't believe NBC
when they said there were thousands of people stranded at the Convention
Cenmter.
