Guardian.co.uk? Gee, lets get propaganda about the US from Jakarta while we're at it. Come on.. that's a stretch. Did you ever consider that there are about 1 murder a day in Philadelphia, the "nation's birthplace" ?

I am not defending New Orleans, but if you are going to quote something, please get it from somewhere local. Heck, even something about the US from Anchorage AK is better than getting it from the UK. If you want to quote some news about the UK, well, then by all means, get it from the UK.
