Why FEMA doesn't want photos of New Orleans.


Ein Alligator in der Kirche: Die "Swamp Critters" sind eine zusätzliche Gefahr

The translation (my German is admittedly weak) : Alligator in church: "Swamp Critters" are an additional danger

You won't see this stuff in our press, by order of the government. But our government isn't supposed to do that. Now we have to rely on the press of nations we fought against in the name of democracy sixty years ago. To give us accurate portrayals of events occurring on the streets of America.

Note: I originally suggested that a corpse appeared in this photo, which I assumed was the object in blue. Apparently I misread the German article, and the corpse was merely 'nearby.'
