Dave,

For IP if appropriate.

A week or so ago, IP forwarded a personal memoir by two paramedics  
who were lied to and treated horribly by New Orleans police and  
ultimately were denied egress from the city at the point of a gun.

While driving home yesterday, I chanced upon an interview with  
several Katrina survivors on our local NPR station during their  
regular Sunday afternoon feature.  The second person interviewed was  
one of these paramedics, and just as she was getting into the really  
awful events she experienced, NPR cut the feed for that story, and  
replaced it with one from several months ago regarding poverty in  
Latin America.  After about ten minutes of this new "replacement", I  
turned of my radio.

An email inquiry to my local NPR station has so far gone unanswered.
