Let's Take a Trip!

The administration spin machine must have been asleep when the Red Cross posted this answer for why they weren't in New Orleans:

The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.


Yeah if I knew that some people were giving out drinking water in a flooded, soon to be disease-infested hell hole, I'd be first in line.

Exactly. And while I don't think people should have to pay upfront to be saved in times like these, I have to ask if the government had that additional incentive, wouldn't they be faster?
