"Journalists who are long on opinions and short on 
    knowledge have no idea what is entailed in moving 
    hundreds of tons of relief supplies into an area the size 
    of England in which power lines are down, no gasoline is 
    available, and roads and airports were covered with water 
    or debris. Yet this was done within four days of Katrina 
    dissipating. The most monumental and successful disaster 
    relief operation in world history is being libeled as a 
    national disgrace. 

    Idiot journalists wonder why helicopters were not used to 
    bring food and water right away to the people in 
    Louisiana's superdome. The reasons are (1) the local 
    government was supposed to have provided them with food 
    and water for three days, but didn't; and (2) you don't 
    divert helicopters from rescuing people in danger of 
    drowning to the aid of people whose lives are not at 
    risk. Thousands of people were rescued from rooftops in 
    Louisiana and Mississippi Tuesday, Wednesday and  
    Thursday. This wasn't a failure just because there were 
    no television cameras there to record it." -- Jack Kelly
