Editor's Note: Please recommend this diary entry. Thanks!
This tragedy has obviously shown the weakness of our government -- from the local level all the way to the federal level. Two conflicting figures are now being released about the death toll from Hurricane Katrina.
This story states that the fatalities are no more than 10,000.
And, this story states that fatalities are estimated to be greater than 60,000.
I wonder if these officials are using the 2000 Census statistics for New Orleans, Louisiana, to make their estimates?
However, this situation clearly shows that this administration's blunders make Andrew Jackson's blunders look like child's play.
