as soon as things come into the port, drive an hour from here, fred, and it is a totally different scene. the government by and large has not gone out to those areas. you see coast guard helicopters still looking for bodies. the mission appears to have changed from a mission of search and rescue to a mission of recovery, and increasingly the bahamians we are talking to are angry that they feel like thauf be they ve been abandoned by their government here. while people feel abandoned, describe the obstacles, that you know, assistance has in getting to people and you talk about bodies strewn about and with that over time, with that kind of heat as well comes, you know, the fostering of diseases and illnesses. there are colossal obstacles to even get aid and assistance to people. describe that. reporter: yes, and every
