The Fox News Channel's Major Garrett made another appearance on the program this evening, following up on his blockbuster story yesterday. Among other things, Garrett got confirmation --on camera-- of the Louisian State department of Homeland Security's blocking of the delivery of relief supplies to the Superdome and the Convention Center. In addition, Garrett received confirmation from senior Salvation Army officials in Washington, D.C. that the Salvation Army's efforts at supplying the evacuees were also repeatedly blocked. Radioblogger will have the transcript up later, but the key takeaway was when I asked Garrett if characterizing Louisian's preparation for the storm as "abysmal" was accurate and he confirmed that indeed it was. Read the whole thing.
I also asked Garrett why no other network is on this story. He can't offer an answer for that, event hough he points out that this isn't a hard story to get, and Fox News needn't be credited. All CNN has to do (or MSNBC or CBS) is call the Red Cross and get a camera over there.
Someone was trying to line their pockets with something. That's to be sure.
Promote him to General, at the very least.
Go, Garrett, go! Turn on the heat!
Sinister.

**And the Governor is allegedly the one blocking it.**
Yes, Blanko Blanco didn't have it together. She is such a control freak.
Thanks, Dog! And thank you, Major Garrett! Bet Blanco, and the Dems wish they could tie a cement block on Garrett's reports and drown them in the flood waters of NO. As the water recedes in NO, the facts about what happened and didn't happen are going to rise like sourdough.
Who runs the Homeland Security Dept of La?
This is ghastly behavior on the part of Louisiana officials. They should be charged with "human rights" violations. We have had no problem in this nation in condemning the behavior of third world dictators in Somalia, North Korea, and Zimbabwe for similar behavior. Where is the outcry now? Where is Amnesty International?

Other relief agencies say the area is so damaged and dangerous that they doubted they could conduct mass feeding there now. "The Homeland Security Department has requested and continues to request that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans," said Renita Hosler, spokeswoman for the Red Cross.

ping a ling a ding dong!
I imagine we will find that Catholic Charities and everyone else was blocked as well.
Well, I'll tell you what. People are starting to get mad about WHY they don't know about it. THIS ONE is going leave a mark on the media as well as the incompetant dems.
This has turned it to something truly despicable both in what happen and in what the MSM is doing, not investigating the fact, but just blaming Bush...
Bump!
The women from the Red Cross was on Larry King Live just the other day and mentioned this
I guess they are pretending to not have heard her
Now FNC finds out that the State Homeland Security didn't just block the Red Cross. They blocked the Salvation Army from delivering food to evacuees.
If I was a conspiracy theorist, I'd start believing that the state really did want those people dead.
That woman has been on for DAYS now.
This is old news that no one paid attention to.
