Thousands still missing after Katrina in Louisiana - Bush doing his best?
Medical examiner wants search to resume in hardest-hit areas

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (AP) -- More than 3,200 people are officially still unaccounted for nearly five months after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, and the state medical examiner wants the search to resume for those missing from the most devastated neighborhoods.

A total of nearly 11,500 people were reported missing to the Find Family National Call Center, a center run by federal and state workers. The reports included people from throughout the Gulf Coast area, but most were from Louisiana. As of Wednesday, all but about 3,200 had been located, the agency said.

1. Thank you, we must not forget these people and that the media reported
that some were behind barbed wire fences under ARMED MILITARY GUARD. A disproportionate number of children seem to be missing and I fear for them since the MK-ULTRA program never ended, just changed their name.

links to powerful video of katrina victims testifying in the Congressional Hearing on Katrina that the Dems boycotted except for the courageous Rep. McKinney who sponsored it and was sitting there while the very evil Shays browbeat the testifying victims for saying they were put into very dirty, bug ridden concentration camps calling them liars!!:grr:

2. Good for the state Medical Examiner for pushing this.
good good good. People are still finding bodies and bits and I am glad that an official is calling for resuming the searches.
