Wider Powers for U.S. Forces in Disasters Are Under Review
U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Russel L Honore now heads the military operation in New Orleans
'A
senior White House official said Saturday that in the wake of the
hurricane that demolished part of the nation's Gulf Coast, the Bush
administration was studying whether to expand the president's powers to
deploy the U.S. military in natural disasters. Dan Bartlett, counselor
to President Bush, said that the administration was reviewing whether
to increase the president's power to dispatch troops at the outset of a
disaster and to give them law enforcement duties.
"There's agreement that this is something that has to be studied," Bartlett said in an interview.'

CNN PRODUCERS TOLD ON-AIR GUESTS: GET ANGRY
After
weeks of intense Katrina coverage from the main press, LA TIMES guru
and former CNN host Michael Kinsley divulges that CNN was coaching
guests to artificially enhance emotions!
Kinsley writes:
"The
TV news networks, which only a few months ago were piously suppressing
emotional fireworks by their pundits, are now piously encouraging their
news anchors to break out of the emotional straitjackets and express
outrage. A Los Angeles Times colleague of mine, appearing on CNN last
week to talk about Katrina, was told by a producer to 'get angry.'"

From Federal Failure Arises More Federal Power
'Lawlessness,
the eruption of which was guaranteed by delayed relief, provides cover
both for martial law, which suspends constitutional protections, and
for the confiscation of legally owned private firearms in violation of
the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Everyone has by now seen
the images of troops and police breaking into New Orleans homes and
pointing weapons in the faces of residents. US military even described
survivors as "insurgents." (At time of writing news reports are
confused whether martial law exists in New Orleans. Some reports have
the mayor declaring martial law; others report that the state has
declared its version of martial law. Most constitutional experts
believe martial law requires an act of Congress or a presidential order
or both.)'
