The media might make use of some of this information, there is a demonstrated market for levee failure information considering how many other stories they've printed. Then again, they might not be interested, this early, anyway.

No matter. I want this to gel for a while, and I've got some catching up to do around the homestead, which will allow the engineer and construction types here to poke holes in the analysis if possible so problems can be addressed and cleaned up if they surface.

Then I plan to point Al Naomi and a few other CoE types here, so they will know which way the wind is set to blow and make sure they don't step into a pile of weak soil.

If they don't poke any substantiated, logical holes in it, the next step is the Senate Investigative Committee.

By the time their report is completed or before, I expect the media might have to mention it, on page 29D if nothing else.

No matter.

The Senate Investigation Report is what will decide...oh....about 250 billion dollars worth of wrongful death and damage resulting from malicious negligence lawsuits.

Those suits in turn have significant impact on Louisiana's financial viability over the long term, and most importantly, the re-election hopes of certain politicians.

Reporters will be reporters.

And lawyers will be lawyers.

Obtaining justice, like many other projects, is often a matter of selecting the proper tools and techniques. In this case, certain people simply cannot allow the truth to surface and survive. They seem to think the matter will be settled in the court of public opinion, and that since they hold good cards there, they will get off scott free.

They may have miscalculated.
