Anybody watching Primetime tonight about NO (w/Ted Koppel)?
It's quite the mini-documentary on how New Orleans was handled. It's pretty good so far. It is documentating the public statements made by officials, and the timeline of events.

1. Yeah.
It was on right before GWB speech tonight, it was very good. Koppel is surprising me left and right lately. I really liked him last week or the week before when he ripped into that Brown fella from FEMA

2. It's painful to relive it, but I like how the overlay
of the statements by the "leaders" are contradicted by what was actually happening as documented by the news media.

It's going to be very difficult for officials to spin their way out of responsibility, it's all on video.

3. Got one bit wrong. Watch the end. Still - important stuff. Shows the
desperation and horror of first responders. Very sad.
