Mayor Ray Nagin said over 10,000 people would be found dead due to the flooding - as reported by the Cable News Networks.
Police Chief Compass said there were rapes of children at the superdome - as forwarded by MSM as well.

WSJ.com - Misinformation Slowed Federal Response to Katrina:
"But some of the most spectacular looting -- the sacking of the Wal-Mart in the lower Garden District and the summary emptying of the Office Depot Uptown, appear to have been initiated not by organized bands of thieves but police and City Hall bureaucrats intent on securing supplies."
