10:58 P.M. - (AP): Rescue efforts already hampered by
communications meltdowns, lack of power and stagnant
floodwaters continue to get stuck by bureaucracy, by
planning snafus and by the sheer volume of disaster.

"They've been out there all day in the blistering sun,"
the Rev. Jesse Jackson said. "No bus is picking them up
because there is no destination for the people.
More people will die from dehydration and starvation
than from the floods."

Meanwhile, two truckloads of food sat on a bridge Friday
for more than 12 hours waiting for a helicopter to airlift
the supplies to people waiting for rescue from a wharf in
St. Bernard Parish, which was nearly entirely under water,
according to U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville,
who represents the parish.
