Our corporate parent, Landmark Communications Inc., has donated $1 million to the American Red Cross for hurricane relief.
I'm proud to be part of a company that steps up.

Red Cross has not been allowed into New Orleans.
Red Cross's explanation is here: "The state Homeland Security Department had requested--and continues to request--that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans following the hurricane. Our presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city."
Citizen journo account trying to confirm it with a reluctant Homeland Security official is here.
Local angle: The American Red Cross is chaired by Bonnie McElveen-Hunter of Greensboro. Bush appointed her. Her political donations are tabulated here.

Clarification (note to self: slow down, read before posting):
The HS official spoken to by the CitJ was national, should have been state. Subsequent call to state HS went more smoothly.
But still interesting -
"He then told me that this agreement [for Red Cross to stay out of the troubled area] was for any and all disasters, not just the one in Louisiana"
