I’ve never claimed to be infallible. My coworkers and I were exhorted to volunteer for the Katrina disaster. The rescuers were targets for snipers or whatever you call people who shoot at rescuers. The Tennesseans didn’t try to kill anyone who tried to help, as far as I know. If you can give me information to the contrary, I’d like to know about it. Thanks!

I’d like a source of the attack on your co-workers so that I can do a little research. In the mean time, you might find the following article interesting.

They Shoot Helicopters, Don’t They?
How journalists spread rumors during Katrina.
