IT is known the world over as a city of music and light-hearted revelry, but these days New Orleans looks like a bombed city under siege.

Armed troops escort rescuers in boats and in buses or going door-to-door looking for people to evacuate. And mayor Ray Nagin has given police a green light to forcibly remove anyone who refuses to leave.

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.
