A Little Different Perspective...

...on the government's response to Hurricane Katrina--courtesy of Cliff May. In "The Corner," Cliff posts:

"Former Green Beret Jack Kelly thinks the media has it wrong on the US response to the flood:

'Journalists who are long on opinions and short on knowledge have no idea what is involved in moving hundreds of tons of relief supplies into an area the size of England in which power lines are down, telecommunications are out, no gasoline is available, bridges are damaged, roads and airports are covered with debris, and apparently have little interest in finding out.

So they libel as a 'national disgrace' the most monumental and successful disaster relief operation in world history.'"

Me: I think he's right. Questioning what Louisiana officials should have done prior to the disaster is appropriate. Blame-throwing about what's been done since, smacks of either ignorance or bad faith.
