Cynthia McKinney and the Alleged 5,000 Dead Hurricane Katrina Inmates
by Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution (libertarian)
Published: October 5, 2008
My purpose for writing this is that I view this as what should be a major political event, but instead I find there is a mainstream media blackout. As you read, understand to my knowledge there is only one corporate news agency (FOX) that has reported anything, and it wasn't published until 5 days after the McKinney announcement. I want to know the truth, were people executed by the government during the Hurricane Katrina relief effort? I think that everyone can still remember how incapable that relief effort was. Please keep in mind that I do not pretend to know the truth here, I am just doing my best to document and report.
