Not that I *watch* the MSM anymore, but shouldn't this be front and center? Found it on a Middle Eastern webpage....

Of course, this is how Rove and the other chimp cronies want it. Can't have their fucked up response splashed across the headlines again, just months away from midterm elections.

Jeffery Rouse, the deputy coroner of Orleans Parish who testified before a Senate subcommittee last week on the medical and psychiatric response after Katrina, declined to comment specifically on the Memorial case.

However, Rouse, a former emergency room physician, described dire conditions facing medical providers in the flooded city after the storm.

"Volunteer doctors were being turned away by FEMA while we were screaming for assistance," he said. "Scientologists were in New Orleans providing massages before any organized federal medical help arrived in the city."

When armed federal troops finally arrived a week after the storm, "no one thought to bring medical supplies."

1. Isn't that what we pay them for?
:sarcasm:

Maybe there will at least be Clear people in Orleans Parish. :(
