CNN provides a link to video of "corpse recoveries" - WHY?
Most of the news reports about the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina are informative and professional. However, I have to wonder why CNN would think it's important to include a link to see a video of "corpse recoveries"

Hurricane Katrina
My heart goes out to all the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The situation now appears to be getting much worse, as reported on CNN: Water still rising in New Orleans; death toll at least 120.

Estimated 80 percent of New Orleans under water, up to 20 feet deep in places. And the water is still rising.

Electricity was out for more than 2.3 million people in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida.

The U.S. Navy was dispatching ships to the area, including the USNS Comfort, a floating hospital based in Baltimore, and an amphibious ready group led by the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima.

Hurricane Katrina may be the cause of the greatest national disaster in modern US history.

Here's a website, Network for Good, listing all the organizations to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
