Yes, the Army Corps was feeding the television BS spin immediately the Federal Flood. The people they drowned were too busy to get their PR guys to call their friends at the networks.
Next time you seance up your engineer source; ask him about the very recent work the Army Corps and their contractors had done on their “Category 3” canal floodwalls, which had somehow always managed to hold in much stronger winds for almost 100yrs, since the city built them in the first place.
Horse manure. Much too early in the time sequence for anybody to start blaming the Corps of Engineers, thus no reason to spin. Remember, this was only a few days after Katrina.

Sorry, but I'll take the word of professional engineers over yours. I suspect you work for one of the "personal injury" shysters who are drumming this up in order to have another tobacco company windfall.
This case is precisely like a woman with breast cancer whose doctor tells her she needs a mastectomy and chemo, but she decides to have a lumpectomy and no chemo. When she develops metastatic systemic cancer, she has no one to blame but herself. Of course, her husband will probably still file suit against the doctor.
