The reporter on last night's CBS Evening News who covered the looting (Lee
Callen, I think) also pointed out that at least some of it was being done by
folks with no food, water, or clothing.
But then, what are we to expect of the evil, American-hating network of Dan
Rather <G>

I actually heard the governor, Kathleen Blanco, say this on Larry King
last night. She was being pushed to comment on the looting and she chose
to point out that these are people who are hungry and thirsty and in
need of help.

The news accounts seem to be bemoaning the looting, but they fail to
point out that these are people abandoned in the city who need to
subsist and there is no one there to sell them what they need. One
paper mentioned that they were stealing diapers and food and presented
this as problematic! Jackie

While media commentators were bemoaning the looting and showing the same
footage over and over, not a word about the oil companies. There are an
obvious number of points to be made here. Barbara Chasin
