Hurricane Katrina Victims Had Human Rights Violated

Excuse me, but I was under the impression that this was a known fact four years ago. Well, I guess now that Amnesty International has put their seal on it(4 years after the fact) that somehow makes it official.  Who knew?

NEW ORLEANS — Amnesty International says the U.S. government and Gulf Coast states have consistently violated the human rights of hurricane victims since Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people and caused widespread devastation after striking in August 2005.
Amnesty's report entitled "Un-Natural Disaster" says government actions in housing, health care and policing prevented poor minority communities from rebuilding and returning to their homes.
The White House and Louisiana and Mississippi officials said they had gone to great lengths to help people recover from Katrina.
Amnesty urged Congress to amend the nation's main disaster response legislation, the Stafford Act, to guarantee the humane and fair treatment of all disaster victims.

That's it. No details or link to the report. Check it out for yourselves. HERE.

And so it goes.
