Post-K deaths at Memorial not going away

This is going to be a very difficult issue for the area to deal with. The last (unscientific, granted) survey I saw on nola.com about this said that 75% of people don't think that the doctors would have been out of line if they had given lethal doses to some patients. The article below does raise some interesting points from the medical community. How many will just leave next time, rather than face potential charges?

Nice

Rembember the story a few weeks ago that blamed "black culture" for the aftermath of Katrina? Well some white state rep in Colorado apparently forwarded it to his constituents. Way to be decent.

Another article about Katrina Fraud

This, however, is the old-fashioned kind, where government employees spend tax dollars on goodies for themselves, their friends, and anybody else that they can think of. You had to know this was going to happen when the oversight rules for credit card purchases and amounts were lifted in the aftermath of the storm. Visit the Washington Post article below for the gory details.

Katrina murder charges handed down for doctor, two nurses

There were many reports of this occuring after the storm, here are the first criminal charges. It's going to be difficult to get a conviction on these charges I'm sure, knowing the conditions in the hospital 5 days post K. Such a sad story all around.
