[Hallicrafters] Re: Katrina. No Hams Allowed!?

I think maybe there is a third option: Richard C. Hoagland reported it. He's 
the one with pictures of a buried metropolis on Mars. Very little of what 
Mr. Hoagland says proves to be credible.

Sounds like two things going on to me..
A) The local govt. refused help not the national
        AND OR
B) Law and order is needed first, with one command point.

....ham radio operators, who lent a massive communications assist during

the
rescue / c & c et al folks working in and around New Orleans...

HUH? OK, correct my thinking here, but...why would the government
greet hams with open arms during 9/11 and then turn around and tell them to
take a hike THIS time? Doesn't make any sense to me.
The FIRST thing you need is inforMAtion, right? No info => no action.
Anyone out there an ARES member?

Though many hams monitored critical frequencies being used during this
crisis, they did not report encountering any sort of interference or signal 
jamming.
So...where did the (reported by FEMA personnel?) communications problems
originate?

If there WERE commo problems and the on-site folks rejected assisatance...
why the heck would they wanna DO that?
If there were NOT problem(s)...why would they claim there were?

This does not look kosher to me.
Please comment, clear up my misconceptions, add your own knowledge. Either
on-list or off.
And thank you very much.
