Martial Law?

Is New Orleans under it? The Governor has sent the National Guard in at the request of Mayor Nagin.:

"Frustration over a rise in crime reached a tipping point on Saturday when five teenagers in an SUV were shot and killed in the city's deadliest attack in at least 11 years. Police said the attack was apparently motivated by drugs or revenge. Also, a man was stabbed to death Sunday night in an argument over beer.

The killings brought this year's murder toll to 53, raising fears violence was back on the rise in a city plagued by violent crime before Katrina drove out much of the population last year. "

I wonder when Mayor Barrett will ask Governor Doyle to send in the guards to secure Milwaukee? (Milwaukee: 45 murders YTD, June 20, 2006)
