Troops find grisly scenes in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Troops scouring New Orleans for survivors and victims reported finding at least 40 mutilated bodies in the Convention Center refugee center.

Arkansas National Guardsman Mikel Brooks told the New Orleans Times Picayune many of the dead were elderly, or showed signs of trauma.

"There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut," he said.

As the searches became more organized since the Aug. 29 onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said repair crews had patched the ruptured levee along the 17th Street Canal and had begun pumping out water.

The failure of the levee system after the storm left about 80 percent of the city flooded up to 20 feet deep, and Corps officials said it would take nearly three months to drain some neighborhoods, CNN reported.

Deputy Police Chief Warren Riley told reporters that thousands of people -- many of them with pets -- are insisting on staying in what he called "a hazard."

"We advise people that this city has been destroyed. It has been completely destroyed," Riley said.

Blanko and Nagin NEED to become FAMOUS for incompetence..
Telegraphed in every conversation about New Orleans until the "media" is shamed into admitting it.. even after the obligatory "forget the BLAME" canard is noised about..

The outrageous incompetence of this, should be acknowledged and faced.. Democrat MEANS incompetence.. Republican MEANS enabler of incompetence..

Am I dreamin'... absolutely..

I've read that the NO crime rate was 10 times the national average.

Is there any proof of any of this other than the word of one National Guardsman?

the people who did this - are in the astrodome now.

Or in Renunion Arena or the Convention Center in Dallas, at the former Kelly AFB and other locations in San Antonio, or at several locations in Austin, Sherman, Bonham, Temple, Killeen, and many other Texas cities. Not to mention cities in locations north of the disaster area. Still most of those evacuated from NOLA after the hurricane hit were evacuated to Texas.

This is what happens when you dis-arm people and then put them together with the bad people and provide absolutely no protection.

How many rapes and murders occur on a normal day in N.O.?

I live in the South and I stopped going to N.O. years ago because of the crime.

Anybody see Oprah's show yesterday? Nagin was 'interviewed' by Ms. Winfrey. Per Nagin, the people in the SuperDome were 'so frustrated' by the lack of FEDERAL RELIEF that they had no choice BUT to rape and kill.

The 'defense' is already being set up...its all George Bush's fault.
