CNN.com - Official: E. Coli bacteria detected in floodwater - Sep 6, 2005

Well - DUH!

How could there not be? Those floodwaters are the worst kind of running sewer right now.

For that reason alone, the complete evacuation of the city is necessary. I'm fascinated by the denial of the stragglers who refuse to leave. One guy refused rescue because he was afraid of losing his livelihood. Look around, man, where are your customers? What condition is your business here?

All of the above said, if it is at all possible, I am still more angry at our government. An NPR reporter tipped off the government as to people staying at the Convention Center? Only to be brushed off, at first, as spreading rumors?

Also, it is WRONG for Bush to head the commission investigating this governmental disaster. So obviously wrong. A more appropriate individual should be chosen.
