Red Cross Blocked from Relieving New Orleans by Louisiana Governor

Click the headline for a link to the Powerline posting.

According to Hugh Hewitt, Major Garrett of Fox News is reporting that the Red Cross "had prepositioned water, food, blankets and hygiene products for delivery to the Superdome and the Convention Center in the immediate aftermath of the hurricane, but were blocked from delivering those supplies by orders of the Louisiana state government, which did not want to attract people to the Superdome and/or Convention Center."


This is now confirmed by the Red Cross.

Let's have that investigation.
