That would be an incorrect statement - CNN filed a court order to allow news media to film after Gen. Honore announced he would not let the news media in during the body removal - the judge issued a temporary restraining order to allow media in for now with a hearing set for Saturday morning to decide the issue

This all happened at noon today at the same news conference where the General and the city attorney announced they would NOT be having a forced evacuation (that idea was dropped earlier today although they are still trying to get the word out to some of the splinter police precincts) - as a matter of fact they said they are basically through with the evacuation phase and they are going into the body recovery phase starting tomorrow.
