you sir are a DUMBASS
I understand the handling of bodies in this way and don't have a problem with it. The bodies were only attached to poles or signs or trees in an effort to keep them from floating away.
There was no way, at least at the time this was being done, that relief workers could conceivably take the time to remove dead bodies when there were still hundreds if not thousands of people who needed to be evacuated.
It's unfortunate, but a grim reality of the situation.
As the last sentence said, saving and evacuating the living was the mission, and the proper priority.
Securing the bodies for later collection was the only option.
I noted the story to point up just how unreal, and apocolyptic the situation is when the dead are strewn around a major U.S. city with no way to deal with them.
Facilities and trained mortuary staff are being moved into place and I'm sure sometime soon, if not today, the effort to collect, identify, store, and bury the hundreds of dead will begin.
It's clear that Bush can barely care. They take pictures of him sitting with the commanders and agency heads surrounded by charts and maps, but anyone that thinks he gives a good god damn about that stuff is an idiot.
He's not involved beyond telling his underlings to take care of it.

While in Bush's case, it's important that he leave decisions to more competent people, the fact remains that he doesn't even want to UNDERSTAND what's going on or what needs to be done. This despite his relentless repetition that he "unnerstans" this and "unnerstans" that at every opportunity.
(at a press briefing yesterday, Bush said he "unnerstans" no less than FIVE times within one minute. I'm not making it up.)
