CNN Sat AM

Watching CNN

Observations
Miles O'Brien : Hurricane coverage "template"
We go, cover the wind and destruction, then go home
This was different

Review of events from Tulane Hospital
Relief Monday that the Hurricane had pasted
Flooding Monday Night - so set your "response clock" from then, not last weekend
Katrina hit Monday AM

For Jessie Jackson (on NBC) "it's been 6 days" ... guess troops should have been ordered in last Sunday...

General Honore: on response time "if it was easy it would have been done by now"

Sanja Gupta: in Thailand (Tsunami) emergency hospitals were on high ground, New Orleans, they're flooded.
