3/7 - Eugene Linden
- The Day Before Tomorrow. News organizations recently have reported on video and transcripts of an August 28, 2005 videoconference in which President George W. Bush received warnings of Hurricane Katrina before it made landfall (article on-line here). The White House issued a March 2 release responding to the video, saying that the video had been available to the public for months and that it showed Bush being involved and responsive (release on-line here). Bush said in a September 1 interview with Diane Sawyer that "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees. They did anticipate a serious storm. But these levees got breached."
- Uncaged Heat. The Minnesota Correctional Facility-Shakopee houses adult women offenders and is on-line here. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty called for a $4.9 million fence and security system for the prison in a January 2006 proposal for bonding projects. "This fence will enhance public safety at the only women's prison in the state – a facility where the number of violent offenders is growing rapidly," according to a release by the governor's office (on-line here).
