For Katrina-displaced: SMS to/from
e-mail for mobile phone primer

NOLA rescue worker email #2Via Ned Sublette, and attributed to a friend-of-a-friend
rescue worker in New Orleans who wishes to remain
anonymous:
I'm back in Baton Rouge, this time with all of my
team. Sadly, we've had to pull out of New Orleans
for now because things have gotten too dangerous.Who would have thought that in a country like ours.
not some third world place, mind you, that there would be massive amounts of people trying to inflict harm on the very people that are
putting their own lives on hold to help other.
It's unreal what we're seeing. The criminal
looters (if that's even a strong enough word for them)
have been shooting at the helicopters that are the
only hope that the city has right now of saving
more lives and thereby preventing many more
deaths. I can tell you that there isn't a single
member of the two teams I'm with that aren't
ready to go back in, shooting and all, but the
fear is from the higher-ups who can't risk losing
the helicopters and the boats. I can't believe it Jon.
people of roof tops and in attics will die tonight
because sub-human thugs are shooting at the only
people who can help anyone right now.
