Gov. Kathleen Blanco's Bureaucrats Blocked Food and Water
The Red Cross was reportedly ready to deliver food, water and other supplies
to flood-ravaged refugees who were sweltering inside New Orleans' Superdome
last week - but the relief was blocked by bureaucrats who worked for
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco.
Fox New Channel's Major Garrett reported Wednesday that the Red Cross had
"trucks with water, food, hygiene equipment, all sorts of things ready to go
.. . . to the Superdome and Convention Center."
But the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security, Garrett said, "told them
they could not go."
"The Red Cross tells me that state agency in Louisiana said, 'Look, we do
not want to create a magnet for more people to come to the Superdome or
Convention Center, we want to get them out,'" he explained.
"So at the same time local officials were screaming where is the food, where
is the water? The Red Cross was standing by ready [and] the Louisiana
Department of Homeland Security said you can't go."
