WTF?

It is starting to sound like FEMA was worse than ineffective; they were actually damaging. They reportedly stopped Wal-Mart shipments of water and turned away fuel and boats and, according to the following video, even sabotaged communication systems. WTF?

This is just so much worse than merely not mobilizing on time or efficiently. How could FEMA or anyone human block other people from mobilizing help? I just can't imagine what goes through someone's head when they stop someone from handing a bottle of water to someone who is dying of dehydration. I'm no bleeding heart, but Broussard sure as hell does not come across as one either. It makes me so sick and angry and I can't even imagine how it must have been and still is for people down there sworn to help.
