In New Orleans there are people who are still trapped and need food and water, still being shot at, still having to guard their homes from looters, or having what little they have left taken by looters because they can't get in to guard it themselves. But the police are being sent on vacation. This is criminal negligence, at the very least.

Troops find find "at least" 40 mutilated bodies in New Orleans convention center UPI ^ \| 9/6/05 NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Troops scouring New Orleans for survivors and victims reported finding at least 40 mutilated bodies in the Convention Center refugee center. Arkansas National Guardsman Mikel Brooks told the New Orleans Times Picayune many of the dead were elderly, or showed signs of trauma. "There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut," he said. As the searches became more organized since the Aug. 29 onslaught of Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said repair crews had patched the ruptured levee along the 17th Street Canal and had begun pumping out water. The failure of the levee system after the storm left about 80 percent of the city flooded up to 20 feet deep, and Corps officials said it would take nearly three months to drain some neighborhoods, CNN reported.
