Yes, I understand that, however one has to wonder why they can't send planes to drop food/supplies on the ground like they've done for other countries. Also, reporters seem to have no problem getting in. We see on-the-scene coverage daily. 5 days is just unacceptable. I agree that not only LA, but all states and the Federal government must come up with a decent plan should this ever happen again. I don't know who/what exactly is to blame, and if nothing else, we must learn from this situation and make sure it doesn't happen again one another disaster occurs in N.O. or anywhere in the U.S.
