| Joint Task Force Katrina "has no plans to bar, impede or prevent news media from their news gathering and reporting activities in connection with the deceased Hurricane Katrina victim recovery efforts," said Col. Christian E. deGraff, representing the task force. U.S. District Court Judge Keith Ellison issued a temporary restraining order Friday against a "zero access" policy announced earlier in the day by Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, who is overseeing the federal relief effort in the city, and Terry Ebbert, the city's homeland security director. In explaining the ban, Ebbert said, "we don't think that's proper" to let members of the media view the bodies. About Judge Keith Ellison.... Born 1950 in New Orleans, LA Federal Judicial Service: U. S. District Court, Southern District of Texas Nominated by William J. Clinton on January 26, 1999, to a seat vacated by Norman W. Black; Confirmed by the Senate on June 30, 1999, and received commission on July 7, 1999. |

| #6 During a live feed a few days back when everyone was still walking around in the water, I heard them talking about the area that had more gators and snakes. What area would that be, wouldn't the water connect them all together? Haven't we all thought about how the gators may have gotten to some of the victims? I don't mean to paint a horrid picture here or anything. Or wouldn't some bodies be washed out to sea during the hurricane? Not to mention if any of the bodies were from cemeterys washed out. There is already going to be folks suffering from Post Tramatic Stress Disorder; http://www.ncptsd.va.gov/facts/general/fs_what_is_ptsd.html showing these photo's may be hard on some that have made it out safely. |

| #5 If the MSM shows America enough bodies, will America withdraw its forces from the quagmire? |

| #4 The Media are already losing. I just got an email from my sister-in-law, who is about as apolitical as they come, asking if the picture of the drowned busses in New Orleans was real. I explained the circumstances -- look for a copy of the email coming from a church member near you! Not because my explanation was brilliant, but the darling has been know to send out to her entire address book when she thinks it's important. ;-) |

| #1 Hmmmm...military edict, in a disaster zone, by a guy who really is a general, has some balls, has been given a mission to accomplish, and has the guts to do what has to be done to get his mission accomplished vs Dem-appointed, obviously non-biased, federal judges' edict... Who's gonna' win this one? PS. This is so patently obvious an attempt by the MSM to place all the blame for all the deaths on the Bush Administration. The rhetoric is so sad it's not even ridiculous...the problem is it's actually starting to work (I got an off-hand comment from some flake gas station moneychanger in Berkeley last night about how Bush hadn't shown himself to be a leader in the Katrina situation - I couldn't bring myself to comment and made a break for the door - it was _Berkeley_ after all...) |
