I just read this report on MSNBC and I'm appalled...

National Guard members halted the evacuation of the Superdome early Saturday after buses transporting the refugees of Hurricane Katrina stopped rolling.
Guard members said they were told only that the buses had stopped coming and to close down the area where the buses were loaded.
"We were rolling," Capt. Jean Clark said. "If the buses had kept coming, we would have this whole place cleaned out already or pretty close to it."
I'm shocked and amazed that 4 years after 9/11 and we are no more safe than we were on Sept 10th. Nothing has changed at all. And if it has, it's changed for the worse. This proves to me that everything we have heard about Homeland Security, how we are safer with the Repubs in charge and Bush at the controls is just rhetoric. I hope the Red States are paying attention.
I just have one question for our government -
If Al Qaeda had blown up the levees in New Orleans, how would our response be different?
