Anyone else hear this? Tony Snow said on his show today that while investigating the missing New Orleans cops, the FBI has discovered that out of the list of names they were given only 80 of them are real people!! Something like 500 made up names. Then, a few hours later the Police Super resigned without giving a reason!

Nothing else about it since then, except Shep Smith mentioned a 'rumor.'

This would be a good one, given all the xmas list pork they're wanting us to pay for. Stuff like that does'nt happen without the mayor knowing about it--the jerk! Evil or Very Mad

Louisiana is getting a lot of light shed on it that is seeming to be a little uncomfortable.
Good deal. I hope all their corruption gets exposed. It runs very deep.

This is juicy good. I want Louisianna poliitical corruption to be exposed and thus far it has not looked good with Bush/corrupted photo ops. Hopefully Bush will stop turning a blind eye and the swamp will be exposed.

This may be just the beginning. Katrina blew off a couple of floor boards in that house of corruption and revealed that there is a cess pool below. For decades everyone smelled something funny and most just winked and dismissed it as a charming part of the unique NO experience.

With the backing of conservative counterparts to M Moore, I bet Mr Brown could use his legal training and FEMA experience to do some real effective muckrakeing.

I wonder if the 500 missing cops were part of Slick Willy's 100,000 police officers.

I bet it doesn't take Nagin long to disappear. Soon as he starts feeling the heat under his feet.
He may be in so far into lala land he waits too long.
I don't think Blanko can escape. She is in for the long haul and she has a ton of unanswerable questions heading her way.

Hey, why should the PD be any different than the school district? Man this place is Compton, CA times 100. You'll recall Compton's Mayor and most of the city council were sent to jail, the school district was taken over by the state, and their corrupt/inept police department was disbanded (now covered by LA County Sheriff).

Snip

The New Orleans public-school system has been failing its kids for years. Fully 73 of its more than 120 schools are considered to be "failing" according to the state's educational accountability standards. On one 2004 measure, the GEE test of high schoolers, 96 percent of Orleans Parish students were below basic on English and 94 percent were below basic in math.

The fiscal situation is just as bad. Millions have been stolen over the past decade. An August 2005 federal audit determined that $69 million in Title I funds weren't properly accounted for and that further grants are "high risk." Because of multiple ongoing fraud investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigation actually has an operations field office in the New Orleans school-district headquarters.

In fact, the New Orleans school system doesn't even know how many employees it actually has on payroll, just rough estimates of between 7,000 and 8,000 people. That's one reason, in June of this year, the state of Louisiana forced the system to accept oversight from the New York investigative accounting firm Alvarez & Marsal. Last month, before the storm, Alvarez & Marsal disclosed that the rate of payroll errors is around 20 percent, and one of the investigators told the New Orleans Times Picayune, "I'm a CPA doing this 20 years. This is the absolute worst I've ever seen. Anyone can bend any rule around here."

Oh, and this just in from CNN. NO's finest looting the city.

Snip

GRIFFIN (voice-over): It could be the single worst moment in the history of the New Orleans Police Department. And it centers on what happened at this Canal Street hotel. The night New Orleans flooded, Osman Khan says 70 officers moved into his Amerihost Inn and Suites; 62 of them then went out to fight the looters and thugs. But eight officers, he says, began a four-day-long looting spree of their own.

OSMAN KHAN, HOTEL MANAGER: Oh, yes. They would probably leave around 9:00, 10:00 at night and come back around 4:30 in the morning.

GRIFFIN (on camera): And what did you see them come back with?

KHAN: Oh, everything from Adidas shoes to Rolex watches.

GRIFFIN: Just lots of it?

KHAN: Oh, lots of it.

GRIFFIN (voice-over): Camped out on the 10th floor of the hotel, the hotel engineer, Perry Emery, says the eight officers were drinking almost all of the time. He says, when he came up to the 10th floor to bring towels and to check on water pressure, he saw firsthand what they had looted.

PERRY EMERY, HOTEL ENGINEER: I guess jewelry or generators, fans. And, one time, they went out and they came back with a bunch of weapons.

GRIFFIN: The generator, says Khan, was this one, stolen, he says, as he watched, from a hospital next door.

(on camera): And they stole this from a hospital?

KHAN: They stole it from Tulane Hospital, correct.

GRIFFIN (voice-over): As the majority of the NOPD were out fighting crime, Khan says these eight were running an extension cord up their 10th-floor rooms and to a refrigerator to keep their beer cold.

CNN has now obtained this videotape backing up parts of Khan's story. It is video taken on the Sunday after the storm, when the hotel was surrounded by water and the hotel engineer was telling a reporter about a threatening police officer on the 10th floor.

...simply disgusting.
