8/30    So martial law has been declared in parts of Louisiana.  What I want
        to know is where is the bitching, moaning and wringing of hands about
              \_ I don't see anything natural about it.  -John
        this?  You know, like the bitching about similar things in Iraq.
          -- ilyas
        \_ Yeah, because the situations are so similar.  -John
           \_ Oh, I think comparing Bush to a natural disaster is fair.
              \_ They're arguably both Acts of God. -geordan
              \_ I don't see anything natural about it.  -John
        \_ Ilyas, how about your bitching and moaning about being forced
           AT GUNPOINT to help bail out insurance companies, and other ways
           federal tax dollars are being used in Louisiana?  -meyers
           \_ Maybe because libertarians love welfare, as long as it's rich
              people or corporations who are getting the help.
              \_ so true
        \_ You want we should bomb parts of Louisiana? What can we do there
           that Katrina did not?
        \_ There has been plenty of rioting and looting in Berkeley over the
           years but only the Telegraph shop keepers and their insurance
           companies were upset about that.
        \_ There is no such thing as "martial law" in state law.

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush

        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?

com Though many media outlets starting with local New Orleans TV stations yesterday reported that "martial law" had been declared in New Orleans, the Louisiana attorney general has confirmed that is not the case, sayi ng no such term exists in state law. Even so, Friday, three days before hurricane Katrina pounded the Gulf Coa st, Gov. Kathleen Blanco declared a state of emergency, which gives auth orities widespread latitude to suspend civil liberties as they try to re store order and bring victims to safety. While not technically "martial law," the emergency designation gives some of the same powers to governm ent officials. Under the Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disast er Act of 1993, the governor and, in some cases, chief parish officials, have the right to commandeer or utilize any private property if necessa ry to cope with the emergency, explained the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Media organization apparently confused action taken under the emergency d eclaration or the curfew that had been declared with an actual "martial law" declaration. A quick Google news search reveals many news stories referring to martial law, some citing local New Orleans television stations. When martial law is in effect, military officials take over the administr ation of justice in times of emergency when traditional law enforcement are in capable of meeting demands. Totalitarian governments often impose martial law, sometimes permanently, imposing military tribunals in place of courts.
