revealing personal account by two emergency medical personnel who were participating
in a conference in New Orleans at the time of the hurricane, see their gripping
story at http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/090805A.shtml.
The mainstream media has largely avoided reporting devastating personal stories
which reveal all that is being covered up. For more on how corporate ownership
of the media blocks key stories like this, see http://www.WantToKnow.info/mediainformation
