Atheists thanked "Good Morning America" host Bill Weir for apologizing to them for saying on the air: "There are no atheists in foxholes and hurricane zones." For the article see:

Before he apologized shouldn't he have invited the atheists who actually endured Katrina's wrath to be interviewed on his show? Donchatink it would be interesting to get their views to see if the statement has any validity before issuing the apologizing?
