FEMA doesn't want the press to take any pictures of the dead in New Orleans.

Well Barry, I'm not sure I want to see those pictures anyway. I'm positive if one of my deceased loved ones had been floating in mucky water in 100 degree weather, I wouldn't want their picture plastered across the news media either.
Not wanting the pictures posted is one thing; not wanting the devastation to life and property recorded and documented, especially by a free press, is an absolutely different issue.
According to CNN today- "The Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday it will hand out debit cards worth $2,000 each to victims of Hurricane Katrina. A FEMA information officer said the cards will go initially to stranded victims who have been moved to rescue centers such as the Houston Astrodome." What the hell is up with this? I am sorry but if I lived in Florida, I would be pissed. They get 4-6 Hurricanes a year. Never reimbursed for anything-because they expect it. Now, all of a sudden these people in New Orleans lose their places-and don't have insurance, we are expected to pick up the tab? That is pure bullsh*t. No one would care if my house was levelled in a tornado-and I would not expect them too, especially if I did not have insurance.
Are you sure you're on the right blog. What does money and insurance have to do with pictures the dead. I don't mean to sound rude, but I was just curious.
