Oxfam partners assess Katrina’s impact on rural communities
Hattiesburg, Mississippi—Burkett's hometown—was among the team's stops. It lay directly in the path of the storm. "At the moment, rural Mississippi is faced with an almost total loss of phones and electricity, and gas is in very short supply," said Kenny Rae, an Oxfam program officer. "The Oxfam team spent hours yesterday queuing up with Mississippians to fill their tanks. There are gas lines everywhere. It's like '74." In rural communities all around Hattiesburg, Katrina's fury was evident. "There was a lot of tree damage," said Rae. "In some locations, every third pine tree had been blown down."

Gerry DeNardi] remembers June 21, the day five friends died when a deep-buried IED destroyed a Bradley Fighting Vehicle. "I try not to think about that day, but everything I do brings it up," DeNardi said. Because he organized the singing and playing, he couldnt do either without remembering a friend. But his anger had mellowed into sadness. He doesnt believe Adhamiya was worth their loss. The Iraqis need to fight for themselves, he said, and he didnt see that. He plans to get out of the military to become a history teacher. "When I look back, nothing can stop me," DeNardi said. "Im lucky I made it through Adhamiya Iraq. Im not going to waste the rest of my life sitting around in a hammock." At his apartment, Sgt. Ely Chagoya pulled out his guitar. After months of not playing, emotion seeped from the guitar to his fingers and up through his voice.

"Remember when the Justice Department prosecuted Enron and Arthur Anderson for destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice? Now the Justice Department is trying to block congressional oversight and legal proceedings involving this latest scandal," Radack added.
Radacks comments came during the launch of a new campaign, "American Lawyers Defending the Constitution." The effort is backed by a statement signed by more than 1,300 lawyers and law students around the country, including former New York governor Mario Cuomo, former Reagan administration official Bruce Fein, leaders of legal organisations and more than 100 law professors in the U.S.
