Occhi, this country is my home.  Don't pick nits.

Two, the Red Cross is NOT in New Orleans. Read the press release. You didn't bother clicking the link to the Red Cross? Red Cross is all over other areas, but they are expressly forbidden to enter New Orleans. And they are pretty upset about it.

Right. I see your nitpicking on "in New Orleans" versus "around the area helping out in secure areas." Understand where I misunderstood what you were trying to get across.

Red Cross is an NGO. Operates on suffrance of Government forces. Standard disaster relief procedures, internationally, for US forces.

As to the rest, divining intent from action, and action from intent, particularly from sketchy information, is a hazardous guessing game.

It's what got the US into Iraq. :P

That said, I'll keep a weather eye out. I don't doubt that any number of folks are trying to prevent certain embarassing tidbits of information out. Trouble is, over time, it will all come out.

A matter of when, not if.

I still contend, Doc, that now is NOT the time for armed insurrection. Then again, if I lived in the area around New Orleans, I might possibly feel differently.

Here's an idea no one will bother to pursue:

Take those Mexican soldiers who have reportedly been sent to assist, and assign them the task of excorting, at gunpoint, a few thousand illegal aliens who reside in the Greater New Orleans area . . . back to Mexico and points south.

Hmm, need to order a new tinfoil hat . . . :P
