1. Why hasn't anybody thought of this: |
|
Toxicologist on Democracy Now says water in NOLA is deadly to the touch. Chemical cocktail of unknown composition will absorb thru the skin and attack organs.
Where are the hazmat suits? How many rescue hero's will die because of lack on information?
9/11 ground zero rescuers are dying of respiratory disease now because of lies told then.

3. It's a part and parcel of this disaster. Dear MSM: |
|
Any journalism that doesn't include complete depictions of the disaster is not journalism.
We're not interested in gruesome details - this is not about disrespect or morbidness. We're not interested in seeing blackened rotting flesh or faces swollen with insects crawling out of the eye sockets after days of submersion. I know what a corpse looks like up close, and I also know that every one of those corpses used to be a person, and many with families who don't WANT to see Poor Aunt Vera rotting photogenically for the camera.
I want to see long shots that tell the larger tale, and I want to see reality, and I want to see the truth. I don't want this fucking administration revising history as it happens. They don't get to, don't let them.
They "asked". Why should you do anything this adminstration "asks". The only thing they've ever done for you is diminish the profession of journalism.

4. When FEMA requested no pics of the dead |
|
My first thought was, "Why not encourage the rescuers to take pics, and then anonymously send the CDs of the pics taken to to MSM."
There is nothing to stop everyday people from taking pics, and sharing and reporting.

5. Good idea. I know a rescuer there, and will ask that this be done. |
|
They have cellphones that take photos, so it wouldn't be hard to take shots discreetly and get them out to the world.

6. Need a Witness Committee |
|
Why doesn't some concerned citizen's group with clout insist on sending a team of people to document the recovery of bodies and the body count. Clearly, they could not be present at every recovery, but we need somebody there to verify at least some of the casualties that were clearly caused by failure to send supplies and rescue.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THE DEAD DIED OF NEGLECT.
