...trailerloads of goods to New Orleans that were turned away early on by Federal Emergency Management Agency officials.

WHY? Why were they turned away?? How can a statement like this be made and not explained?? It's totally incomprehensible!

I think this relates to one of the "Katrina Myths". Supposedly FEMA turned away a truckload of water that was trying to get into the affected area. Someone investigated this with Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart says the truck was NOT turned away, it was redirected to a place where it was needed more.

Another myth perpetuated by the "It's All Bush's Fault" crowd.
