Katrina/Levees - 60 'Too Many' Minutes "Explains" The Failure
Free Republic ^ | 9/4/05 | self

Posted on 09/04/2005 1:41:37 PM PDT by beyond the sea

Just heard that SeeBS is going to tell America on '60 Minutes' WHY the levees failed in New Orleans. This ought to be interesting.

I wonder how they are going to treat this story.

Here's hoping that all here who see this thread and then see the show will give us your impression of the SeeBS presentation.

Will it be a Bush smackdown......... or what?

Chances are: it'll mostly be a straight story, filled with engineering issues and historical missteps. I'm sure they'll get a dig or two in, though.

They got a secret memo that says that "Bushitler" placed explosives under the levees in order to flood NO and kill black people and to distract from Cindy Sheehan.

Will they interview the people who didn't adequately secure the barges which breached the levee?

That and he slashed the tires on those school buses so they couldn't be used to evacuate the poor black people he made poor in the first place.

I doubt it. I just hope they treat the funding cuts in a fair way. I hope they do a TRUE historic treatment of that corrupt city........... but they won't. I think they're going to go for the jugular tonight.

After watching Russert almost have a hemorrhage on NBC this morning, I think the old media is out for blood now!

The old established/liberal/socialist media is America's most ruthless, relentless, and destructive enemy.

Several comments here on FR (which I also vaguely recall from realtime media reporting) that one of the levees was breached by two unsecured barges.

Not for us. They'll tell about the decisions not to spend to upgrade the levees to Cat 5 status. They haven't had much time to research this story.
