The DART Team ...

Some update (I know this is today's news, os it might not be true, but it seems logical):

http://www.globeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20030424.ucana0424/BNStory/International

In short : Military cannot be deployed because of a lack of resources (As i already talked about earlier in another discussion)...

DART will not be deployed because they are expert for respoding to natural disasters not for post-war reconstruction. Politically, it would have been inconsistent sending troops now.

They will probably send RCMP officers, but it costs 250000$ Cdn per year per officer.

My comments : The reasoning the government officials took are logical and sensible, and i agree with them, even though i do think it is very expensive to deploy RCMP officers!
