FROM: The Sun Herald | 03/07/2006 | Can you hear me now? Bad!: "'This nation has a plethora of politicians and bureaucracy and a paucity of leadership,' said Juliette M. Saussy, director of Emergency Medical Services for New Orleans, who said communications systems there failed totally, to the point police could not even radio each other.
Hu Meena, president of Cellular South, lamented, 'To the extent Mississippi is ever mentioned at all (in relation to Katrina) it's usually just an add-on paragraph.'
Saussy responded, 'We in New Orleans don't minimize what happened in Mississippi, but share your plight, no matter how the press plays it.' But then moments later she referred to her 'experiences at ground zero, New Orleans' in the storm that made direct landfall in Mississippi."
