Blanco: Body Recovery Taking Too Long
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco lashed out at FEMA on Tuesday, complaining the agency is moving too slowly in recovering the bodies of those killed by Hurricane Katrina. The dead "deserve more respect than they have received," she said at state police headquarters in Baton Rouge. She said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency still has not signed a contract with the company hired to handle the removal of the bodies, Houston-based Kenyon International Emergency Services. | "You've got to find more bodies! Thousands of bodies! My career in the Democratic Party depends on it!" |
Calls to a FEMA spokesman in New Orleans and the Homeland Security Department in Washington were not immediately returned. | It's not like she returned their calls before Katrina hit. |
