Kyra Philips reporting with urgency
CNN's reporters aren't holding back anymore. I think they've seen the light.

7. All the CNN reporters are
describing a total breakdown of relief efforts, and says the government needs to do something NOW... not tomorrow, not this evening. NOW.

They're all asking WHY the government isn't doing anything.

They're saying out and out and the DHS can't handle it, and they need to get more help.

8. She was being her usual moron self with questions about
why the people at the convention center were angry, and couldn't they walk out like people in NY did on 9/11.

But once she'd seen the whole film, it was as though the scales had fallen from her eyes.

About damned time, I'd say.

13. Of the convention center
People are dying and desperate. She seemed affected by it and is starting to ask more questions of the federal government. She also pointed out the extreme poverty. I was shocked.

14. she's saying no help, no response
many, many people could not afford to evacuate and this was known in advance. There was no plan in place for the poorest who had to stay. Help must come now, today. Not after meetings and discussions. Why are the national guard soldiers in other areas and not NO. Someone responded that it was unsafe to send in the guard. She replied "isn't that what they're trained for? responding in dangerous conditions?

This is all paraphrased. She's pulling no punches as far as I can tell.

15. I'm shocked...
Phillips is actually starting to get angry with the military guy about the situation at the Convention Center.

Wow.
