1:08 A.M. - AP: Late Wednesday, Tenet Healthcare Corp. asked Louisiana State Police and the U.S. Coast Guard to help evacuate one of its hospitals in Gretna after a supply truck carrying food, water, medical supplies and pharmaceuticals was held up by gunmen.
\"We have to close it down because we can no longer ensure the safety of our patients or our staff in that hospital,\" Tenet spokesman Steven Campanini said of the 203-bed Meadowcrest Hospital.
He said there were about 350 employees and between 125 to 150 patients inside the hospital, which is not flooded and is functioning.
And where could some of those stolen guns be ending up?

Yep cruel indeed. I have no problem w/leaving those w/guns trying to kill or maim behind to rot but you can't just decide not to go in to rescue people b/c you'd end up leaving a lot of innocent people in that hell.
The President needs to send in the regular army and these thugs need to be treated as enemy combatants

I fled from New Orleans on Sunday before the storm hit to a hotel in Lafeyette. Earlier today in the lobbey I saw a NEW ORLEANS POLICE OFFICER checking in. She had driven her police car all the way up here and was telling the check-in clerk she had had enough and quit.
