The Chief of police in NO debunked the rumor of the slain 7 year old girl in the Convention Center today.

I sure hope he's telling the truth.

Not sure which, if any, of these "stories" to believe.

Hope he's right but to be honest I don't believe too much any of the local officials there have to say. There is a lot of CYA in the air.

Well, "debunking" isn't an all or nothing proposition either. The debunk could range from nothing happened to the victim was 8, not 7 years old.

The chief was also on with Geraldo at the Convention Center - said there were 30,000 people, no food, no water (Which I take as meaning ran out of food and water, not that none was ever delivered).

In my mind, the story is still very murky - the rush to bury stories of violence rubs me the wrong way.

"The Chief of police in NO debunked the rumor of the slain 7 year old girl in the Convention Center today."

Well somebody better tell the Times-Picayune and Brian Thevenot, staff writer. Because in Tuesday's (9/6) paper, he writes about AK Nat'l Guardsman Mikel Brooks giving him a tour of the Convention Center and pointing out the bodies. In that article Thevenot writes, ...Then he shined the light on the smaller human figure under the white sheet next to the elderly man. "That's a kid," he said. "There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut."

Looks like somebody's lying.

Tonight on FOXNews, reporter Trace Gallagher said, "originally we were told there were 200 deaths in the Convention Center, but 10 bodies have been found".

I think it's becoming clear now, the early, breathless, blame game MSM estimates were bogus.
