Washington, D.C. (AHN) - A report on Fox News from correspondent Major Garrett Wednesday night reveals a major break into what exactly went wrong at the Louisiana Superdome in the days after Hurricane Katrina struck the city.

An American Red Cross representative tells Fox News that the Louisiana State Homeland Security Department refused the relief organization permission to take food and water to the Superdome because they did not want to "encourage people to go there."

They State office of Homeland Security wanted to get people out and were afraid that providing support would be a "magnet" attracting more displaced citizens of New Orleans.

OK, the mayor encourages people o go to Superdome as a last resort but the Gov WITHOLDS supplies on purpose.

Rah- Roh....the truth, the truth...Oh No!

I bet the office of the governor is doing some big time spinning, or at least trying to.
