Truth...

...from the (wow!) NBC Nightly News. Brian Williams, via the Rude One.
Katrina, though, is different. It displaced two million Americans. It destroyed 350,000 homes. Not all the bodies have been found yet. It exposed cracks in our society. It has us talking about race and class and money and relief. It affected what we pay for gas and what we will pay in taxes. It literally rearranged the map of the Gulf Coast. There are many heroes, but no one villain. Tonight, one of the great American cities is partially in ruins, and many of our fellow citizens are hurting and have nothing left. In some places, nothing's been done yet.
Well, maybe not the whole truth.

'Nothing's been done yet but damage' might be closer to the mark, but Williams is close enough for media work...
