Note also that maintenance and improvements of these levees is NOT the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineeers. The Corps has responsibility for the levees on the Mississippi River and Lake Ponchartrain, and while water brielfy overflowed the Lake levee during Katrina, the rupture of the locally-managed canal levees is what caused the flood.

very interesting.....I certainly have not heard this on the old media.

The first time I saw the governor on TV, I thought that she had the demeanor of someone who was obviously distraut, not only by what was happening now, but by what she knew should have happened in the past and did not.

Where did you see this? The Corp of Engr had a map of the levees I looked at the other day and I thought it included the 17th street floodwall.
