If you want to read some real, unfiltered news coming out of new orleans, give this blog a try. Take a look in particular at the September 1st entry at 10:46pm. Excerpt:
Although obviously he has no exact count, he estimates more than 10,000 people are packed into and around and outside the convention center still waiting for the buses. They had no food, no water, and no medicine for the last three days, until today, when the National Guard drove over the bridge above them, and tossed out supplies over the side crashing down to the ground below. Much of the supplies were destroyed from the drop. Many people tried to catch the supplies to protect them before they hit the ground. Some offered to walk all the way around up the bridge and bring the supplies down, but any attempt to approach the police or national guard resulted in weapons being aimed at them.
If you can find it, try to listen to the Mayor of New Orlean's interview from yesterday. The poor guy is totally frustrated with the lack of resources he has to save people and he doesn't have too much to say about the politicians either.
