Something else the government didn't tell us about Katrina:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has suppressed warnings from its own Gulf coast field workers since the middle of 2006 about suspected health problems that may be linked to elevated levels of formaldehyde gas released in FEMA-provided trailers, lawmakers said today.

At a hearing this morning of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, investigators released internal e-mails indicating that FEMA lawyers rejected environmental testing out of fear that the agency would then become legally liable if health problems emerged among as many as 120,000 families displaced by Hurricane Katrina who lived in trailers.

Gottcha, couldn't figure it out. The aftermath is a completly different subject, psh bet I could get a TON of people's opinions on that whole... disaster...  >.<

And Grpthink I heard about that, it's crazy! I also heard they were experimenting with different chemicals and whatnot that's most likely harmful to all of us, friendly-fire chemical warfare.

And don't forget the Tuskegee study on Blacks the government conducted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

In May, FEMA said its own tests of 96 new trailers near Baton Rouge last September and October found formaldehyde at 1.2 parts per million, but levels dropped to 0.3 parts per million after four days of ventilation. FEMA said that is the accepted threshold used by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for its manufactured homes.

But Mary C. DeVany, an occupational health and safety engineer advising the Sierra Club, testified that that exposure limit of 0.3 parts per million is 400 times greater than the normal limit for year-round exposure set by the CDC-affiliated Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Register. It is also three times the daily exposure limit recommended by the National Institute on Occupational Safety and Health, she said. From the article ,which outlines FEMA's reluctance in regards to testing~worth a click and read.I do not think it's a conspiracy,just another example of this administration incompetence,

GASP..it must be a right wing conspiricy !  

Anyone now want to guess how much time some people spend in their new cars with the windows rolled up sniffing all those chemicals?

Yeah I doubted conspiricy, I'll save that for X-Files shows.. wait.. is that still running? Anyway, just curious to see if anyone else had heard anything on it..

Bush ordered the trailers, built the trailers, delivered the trailers, then ordered the derelics to live in them.
He personally inspected each and every one. He posted instructions for them to not open windows, to smoke
 heavily, especially when little children were present, to be sure and cook with the windows closed and not to
use vents. But, let's go back, back to 2005. He should have known that the hurricane was heading straight for
New Orleans, anyone could see that when it formed next to Africa. Why didn't he go over Blanko's head,
why didn't he tell Chocolate Man to get out of the way and just move in jillions of National Guard troops to
wisk away those Ghetto folks.

Author unknown, but pretty much sums up the LW lib point of view

"Charlie fills the same position that Coulter does: representing the right-wing on the political spectrum so well, he usually makes out point for us. "

Give me a break. You haven't made a point, never have. Just a bunch of LW lib drivel. Oh yeah, I know, Bush made you do it. And learn to spell while you're at it.

"Good comeback, Charlie. Don't bother addressing the issue, just call people names and obfuscate.    Par for the course."

Yeah, I'm a lot like you and a few others here in that respect. But then it's only offensive when a conservative does it. Perfectly acceptable for a lib. Yeah, that's the ticket.
