Subj : Re: Katrina rumormongering To : alt.tv.nypd-blue From : scribe Date : Sun Sep 11 2005 10:20:45 From Newsgroup: alt.tv.nypd-blue Like I said...right now it's all speculation and I suspect the source of the information (at least the soure's political leanings and agenda) based on timing and convenient non-disclosure of the writer and sources of information. Subsequent non-partisan parsing of the whole issue (if that's possible) will tell us all we need to know. BTW, in case you've forgotten, I'm an "old school" Republican (first-registered in '68) who takes strident issue with many of the positions and practices of today's "born-again" GOP and the "Rove-inian" way the current Administration focuses on spin rather than action in the country's interest. Also...I have several friends who are current (and former) mid-to-upper-level decision-makers w/FEMA. Located here in Dallas, their main communications center is in Denton, 30 miles to the north. All have been warning of such a scenario (not necessarily New Orleans) for years. - gnb .
