The MSM or the people who were actually there.

People in New Orleans said it was exaggerated. Now who do you believe?

Honestly? I don't know who to believe at this point. I freely admit that I believed a lot of what was going around about the Superdome and the Convention Center being violent during Katrina. Hey, I fell for it, because the sources seemed like they should be reasonable ones--you'd think the police chief and the mayor would know what was going on in their own city, right?

So now we're hearing, basically, "well, it was uncomfortable, but it wasn't Lord of the Flies there." But why would that Arkansas National Guardsman lie about seeing those bodies? Maybe some of those early stories did have a basis in fact? Who started the rumors?

Hell, man, at this point, I think the only certain casualty in New Orleans was the truth.
