"First, the incompetence of the local and state authorities in Louisiana and especially New Orleans was breathtaking. To issue a mandatory evacuation order without providing means of transport is almost criminally irresponsible."

Almost? Given the availabilty of school buses, the arrogance of wanting only air-conditioned Greyhound buses, the failure to develop a map designating target households requiring special assistance, the failure to designate or have available shelters out of the path of the storm, the surge, and the ultimate (well known) floodway, the failure to have any plan for medical evac, the failure to exercise timely the existing power to mandate evacuation, and the death toll, I don't see how "almost" applies to the self-evident criminal responsibility here.

Speaking of Death Toll, I would be curious to know what killed more people the Storm or the dismal excuses for human beings that preyed upon their fellow man.
