Moving Passage

"Todd was arguing with his interrogators. Zeitoun could hear occasional bursts as the questioning at the Amtrak dest continued. Todd was hotheaded on a normal day, so it didn't suprise Zeitoun that he was agitated during the processing.
'Are we going to get a phone call?' Todd asked.
'No,' the officer said.
'You have to give us a phone call.'
There was no answer.
Todd raised his voice, rolled his eyes, The soldiers around him stood closer, barking admonitions and threats back at him.
'Why are we here?' he asked a passing soldier.
'You guys are al Qaeda,' the soldier said.
Todd laughed derisively, but Zeitoun was startled. He could not have heard right" (212).

Eye of Hurricane Katrina



This is the eye of the hurricane that caused all of the damage.

Devistating Effects



This picture sums up how urgent things actually were after Hurricane Katrina, people forced to their roofs, with very little supplies, action needed to be taken. The only question is, was it the right action?
