i went to sleep with cnn still running last night and was just woken up by an audio rerun of mayor nagin being interviewed by local am radio wwl. i found it referred to here :
Mayor Nagin blasted federal relief efforts as woefully inadequate and said the initial slow response to rising floodwaters was the cause of unnecessary deaths over the past four days.
In an interview broadcast on New Orleans radio station WWL-AM last night, an angry Nagin said federal officials, including President Bush, were too slow to respond to the city's worsening problems — both as flooding worsened on Tuesday as a key drainage canal caved in near the city's lakefront and later as thousands of desperate people waited for buses to get out of the collapsing city yesterday.
"They are feeding the people a line of bull, and they are spinning and people are dying," Nagin said .
it was the first real expression of outrage over the botched post trauma management currently in process. "they let that 17th st pump station go under.." what can we do? "write letters to who ever you have to". he was also po'd at his governor. this audio tape must be heard in its entirety for a better understanding.
