ABCassured us that military leaders insisted this was necessary.Yes, everyone standing politely by and waiting to be rescuedneeds to be treated like a criminal and frisked.</p><p> Is there oneexample of someone asking to be rescued who then turned ontheir rescuers? No.</p><p> Is there anyone who thinks a little 10 yearold boy hungry and crying IS A SECURITY RISK? Who lifts theold people out of their wheelchairs so they can be frisked? Whofrisks the bodies on the side of the road and floating in thewater in case they've been booby-trapped? Who frisks thebabies hungry for milk that might be swaddled in explosives?This is the final humilation for these poor, abandoned people.Tags: Katrina MORE POSTS ABOUT: KATRINA Add New CommentYou are commenting as a Guest.</p><p> You may select one to log into: Logged in as Logout from DISQUSLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> Use Media ▼Community Page Subscribe by email HuffPost PoliticsSteven Denlinger: Sir Knavely and the GreatStimulus Package - "I'm bitter," Sir Knavely toldme.</p><p> He raised his glass and drank.</p><p> His furry chinwent deep into his Tiger's Milk.</p><p> Then he set it...8 minutes ago Daily KosBaucus's Bad News Week - You don't generallythink of Max Baucus as a headline-seeking kind oflegislator.</p><p> He's not the guy showing up everySunday on the talk shows, or getting ...9 minutes ago FiredoglakeThe Ghoulish Old Party - The Republican position ina nutshell: Most of them know there's a crisis, andthey just don't care.</p><p> It doesn't matter what's bestfor the country, only wh...1 hour ago Crooks and LiarsMorning Joe: Rep Tom Price Cites "Non-Partisan"Study Group Funded By Health Insurance CompanyPanning Health Care Reform - DOWNLOADS: (56)[image: Download WMV] [image: DownloadQuicktime] PLAYS: (107) [image: Play WMV][image: Play Quicktime] (h/t Shoq Value) This in...1 hour ago AMERICAblog GayE.</p><p> Lynn Harris Dies - NYT: E.</p><p> Lynn Harris, thebest-selling author of novels that addressedquestions of identity and sexuality among blackmen, has died, his publicist told Th...1 hour agoJ O H N ' S P H OT O S Show All AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: The Mi...http://www.americablog.com/2005/09/military-is-frisking-little-... 1 of 57/24/09 10:53 PMA M E R I C A B L O G T V Visit our AMERICAblog TV site.see all 329 videos >I collect with vodpod Southern Poverty LawCenter calls on CNN to A two minute explanationof the warped and cynical The economy is better.But....</p><p> Judge order San Diego toget rid of the seals Massive brawl in SouthKorean parliament Mormons may havesecretly baptizedNext 6AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: The Mi...http://www.americablog.com/2005/09/military-is-frisking-little-... 2 of 57/24/09 10:53 PMEzra KleinTab Dump2 hours agoWonk RoomF-22 Killed BySeven-Meme Voltron3 hours agoNYCeveHuge victories: Maloney& Pingree - Health CareHeroes, Clyburnreceives petition - video3 hours agoDaily DoseWill Doctors in theHouse, SenateInfluence Debate?4 hours agoThe TreatmentDoes the GOP ReallyHave an AlternativePlan in the Works?4 hours agoG AY P O L I T I C S Visit our new gay politicssection, AMERICAblog Gay.F E E D S Blog RSS AMERICAblog TV RSS Twitter RSSTwitter Feed Get the blog by email: Subscribe me!
