Is the national guard stopping aid from getting in to New Orleans?

That’s the word on indymedia.org and getyouracton.com.
One show-stopping excerpt:

Also heard that part of the reason our house flooded is they dynamited part of the levee after the first section broke – they did this to prevent Uptown (the rich part of town) from being flooded. Apparently they used too much dynamite, thus flooding part of the Bywater. So now I know who is responsible for flooding my house – not Katrina, but our government.

    I haven’t seen any evidence of a deliberate levee-blow (this time).
    Ironically, the city fathers of New Orleans did deliberately dynamite a levee in the early part of the 20th century, flooding a poor rural area upstream from the city. This was part of what led to Huey Long’s ascendancy.
