The looters are not in the majority, and the type of looters you're talking about are not even the majority of looters. Most of the people stealing things are "stealing" diapers, food, and water. If you watch CNN, listen to NPR, look at the pictures, there are NO pictures of people stealing those types of valuables.

Sure, some people are stealing, but really, they are few and far between.

Call me a cynic, but consider this:
News reporters from CNN and NPR go into the Convention Center, report that there are thousands of people there with NO food or water, no power, and some dead bodies lying about. They also report that there are no police, national guard, relief workers. No one is "in control." NO ONE.

Confronted with this information, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says the floods have made moving food and water to the people at the convention center is too difficult right now. However, THEY GOT FOOD AND WATER TO THE SUPERDOME. THERE IS AN UNFLOODED HIGHWAY BETWEEN THE SUPERDOME AND THE CONVENTION CENTER.

Then, a few hours later, police report that there are now 10 people with guns "guarding" the Convention Center and that's what's hindering their efforts to help.

Something isn't right.
