WASHINGTON Mar 2, 2006 (AP) In the hectic, confused hours after Hurricane Katrina lashed the Gulf Coast, Louisianas governor hesitantly but mistakenly assured the Bush administration that New Orleans protective levees were intact, according to a new video obtained by The Associated Press showing briefings that day with federal officials.
We keep getting reports in some places that maybe water is coming over the levees, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said shortly after noon on Aug. 29, according to the video that was obtained Thursday night. We heard a report unconfirmed, I think, we have not breached the levee. I think we have not breached the levee at this time.
Please, Lord, may the real facts of the state and local incompetence get out to the American people.
