Weather: No excuses for New Orleans' Ninth Ward

Federal body searchers have pulled 964 victims out of post-Katrina New Orleans, but CNN says efforts have been called off with 100-150 houses still unsearched, one month later, in New Orleans' predominantly poor and black Ninth Ward. Why? Because searchers "ran out of paint," they say. Civilians, meanwhile, point out telltale signs of bodies within the houses that remain unchecked.

Unconscionable! Would they have stopped searching for post-9/11 bodies known to remain in the World Trade Center? No, because those victims were stock traders or otherwise economically feasible to recover and identify.
