Now trying to prevent the media from taking pictures of the results of their criminal incompetence in New Orleans.
Exemplary article here. Key quote:
"But on Tuesday, FEMA refused to take reporters and photographers along on boats seeking victims in flooded areas, saying they would take up valuable space need in the recovery effort and asked them not to take pictures of the dead.
In an e-mail explaining the decision, a FEMA spokeswoman wrote: "The recovery of victims is being treated with dignity and the utmost respect and we have requested that no photographs of the deceased by made by the media.""
Yeah, right.

The media sucks.
I think it's criminal that the media would even suggest they be brought along, they have no need to be there, rescue personel on the other hand, do.
You are right about one thing though, there was some criminal incompetence. The Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana should be thrown out of office in my opinion.
