What is more unbelievable? Aaron Broussard, president of Jefferson parish, reporting that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was still blocking relief supplies to this Louisiana district: "We had Wal-Mart deliver three trailer trucks of water. Fema turned them back. They said we didn't need them. This was a week ago. We had 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on a Coast Guard vessel docked in my parish. The Coast Guard said: 'Come get the fuel right away.' When we got there with our trucks, they got a word: 'Fema says don't give you the fuel.' Yesterday, Fema comes in and cuts all of our emergency communication lines"?

Or Fema's decision to keep the Red Cross from sending supplies and medical personnel into New Orleans. The Red Cross reports: "We simply cannot enter New Orleans against their orders . . . [They say] our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city"?
