    Bureaucratic timidity. Bad phone lines. And a failure of imagination. Why the government was so slow to respond to catastrophe.

    Sept. 19, 2005 issue - It’s a standing joke among the president’s top aides: who gets to deliver the bad news? Warm and hearty in public, Bush can be cold and snappish in private, and aides sometimes cringe before the displeasure of the president of the United States, (…)

    As the situation grew steadily worse in New Orleans last week, you might have wondered why people didn’t just leave on foot. The Louisiana Superdome is less than two miles from a bridge that leads over the Mississippi River out of the city.
    The answer: Any crowd that tried to do so was met by suburban police, some of whom fired guns to disperse the group and seized their water.
    Around 500 people stuck in downtown New Orleans after the storm banded together for self-preservation, making (…)

    NEW ORLEANS — Heavily armed paramilitary mercenaries from the Blackwater private security firm, infamous for their work in Iraq, are openly patrolling the streets of New Orleans.

    by Naomi Klein
    On September 4, six days after Katrina hit, I saw the first glimmer of hope. "The people of New Orleans will not go quietly into the night, scattering across this country to become homeless in countless other cities while federal relief funds are funnelled into rebuilding casinos, hotels, chemical plants.

They refuse to stand idly by and wait for President Bush and his morally-bankrupt, pirate administration to respond in an (…)
