That same article seems to indicate that it may indeed have been that dire. Not sure how much 14 trailers can do for 15,000 or so people.

Yes they were being shot at and if troops would have been moved in as Katrina was leaving, perhaps some if not most of the shooting could have been avoided.

"The picture was being painted that things were not as bad as they appeared to be" in news reports, Mr. Cummings said in an interview. "It reached the point where the answers didn't add up."

Everything I have seen on the news seems to indicate it is as bad as it was/is portrayed and that perhaps someone is trying to cover their back side. I do no know for certain, but knowing the way government works, that is my hunch.

Not sure what you meant by "123456"
