1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

11/5    It's a little hard to sympathize with Georgia over the Atlanta
        water troubles.  Their population has been growing but they
        have invested nothing in new water infrastructure for Atlanta,
        for ~50 years.  Let's hope other areas learn from the problems.
        \_ The private sector will fix the problem, just like during Katrina.
           If they have problems it's because things weren't privatized enough.

Police Chief Eddie Compass had told the media that people were being raped and beaten inside. The New York Times had r eported that evacuees witnessed seven dead bodies lying on the floor, an d a 14-year-old girl who had been raped. Fox News, MSNBC, CNN and other television news channels had repeated stories of rape and murder there. The convention center was empty when Thevenot arrived, except for about 2 50 members of the Arkansas National Guard and other rescue officials in the immediate area. The last evacuees had been bused out over the weeken d Thevenot interviewed guardsmen, who showed him four bodies that had b een deposited inside a food service entrance of the building. B rooks and several other guardsmen said they had seen between 30 and 40 b odies in the convention center's freezer," Thevenot reported in the Time s-Picayune the following day, adding that Brooks told him one of the bod ies was a "7-year-old girl with her throat cut."
