According to the Los Angeles Times, at least some troops aren’t finding insurgents:

But when they arrived, they did not find marauding mobs. They did not come under fire. They found

people who had lost everything in the storm and, since then, their dignity.

As the National Guard delivered food to the New Orleans convention center yesterday, American Red Cross

officials said that federal emergency management authorities would not allow them to do the same.

Other relief agencies say the area is so damaged and dangerous that they doubted they could conduct

mass feeding there now.

“The Homeland Security Department has requested and continues to request that the American Red Cross

not come back into New Orleans,” said Renita Hosler, spokeswoman for the Red Cross.

“Right now access is controlled by the National Guard and local authorities. We have been at the table

every single day [asking for access]. We cannot get into New Orleans against their orders.”
