New Orleans becomes a war zone...
Squads of combat-equipped troops toting assault rifles and columns of humvees with gunners at the ready crisscross its flooded streets. Soldiers with bayonets mounted have begun house-to-house canvassing of the city to enforce the complete removal of its civilian population.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the disastrous delay in providing aid to the city?s beleaguered citizens was in large part a matter of waiting until this massive military force was ready to deploy.
With New Orleans under de facto martial law, its Mayor Ray Nagin issued an order Tuesday for the forced evacuation of its remaining residents, estimated at anywhere between a few thousand and tens of thousands. New Orleans police officials indicated that they were prepared to forcibly drag people from their homes.

If they were trying out martial law, they should have kept the frigging media out as well as aid.
