Review of Commentary: Refugees, Evacuees--Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

There has been considerable disagreements about whether to call the Katrina victims as refugees. While the term might not be legally sound, many believe that it describes people who are seeking refuge from a horrible experience. This commentary brings the discussion to light in a thoughtful way and offers several differing perspectives. Though the voicing could have been recorded in a less live room, the producer offers her insights in an upbeat way. This could air as a drop-in for any magazine.
