Troops told 'shoot to kill' in New Orleans
"Three hundred of the Arkansas National Guard have landed in the city of New Orleans," [Louisiana gov] Blanco said. "These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well trained, experienced, battle-tested and under my orders to restore order in the streets. They have M-16s and they are locked and loaded. These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do so if necessary and I expect they will."

This is fucked up on too many levels for me to find anything witty about it. I have nothing snarky to add. I'm all out.
