2. Yep. Sure seems like it.
When the head of the FAA controlling aircrat in the regions says there were no reports of gunfire... you have to wonder.

4. It would seem so.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, chances are it's a duck.

7. But first they had to stand down until the "security risk" got high enough
No army sent in to maintain order till - Day 5. Before that there were 300 NG in New Orleans.

8. It probably took 4-5 days to secure the Central Business District
That was the real "security risk"

9. Yes I think so. It's some of the same excuses used in Iraq - they've
forgotten where they are.

11. Um...
I called it while Carol Costello and Chris Lawrence of CNN were runmimng a real time PSY-Op...police station under siege, rescue workers assailed, snipers shooting at helicopters, fires, explosions...

Rummys's special ops and "contractors" did well.
