Her reasoning as I understand it is that Red Cross and Salvation Army personnel would get in the way of the necessary evacuations.

You really could make a good case for not letting people know in advance that they would be there, as some who would otherwise evacuate might decide it was safe to remain because the Red Cross was there, but I'm not so sure that there is a good argument for preventing them being there, but "unadvertised."

They moved the people out of the city where it was unsafe to the outer areas to be serviced by the Red Cross rather than have the Red Cross go into the city and delay further evacuation. The Red Cross head discussed this at some length on TV about a week ago.

The outrage machine has just now gotten hold of this and is shaking and shaking it....
