NO Times Picayune 5 part series from 2002 called "Washing Away"
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 03:02 PM by pstans
It is pretty obvious that the Bu$h doesn't read when he said the other day that, "No one imagined the levees would break."

Pretty much everyone was saying it and have been saying it for a long time. Public Televisions NOW had a program on the consequences of a levee break in New Orleans, and the New Orleans paper wrote this 5 part series on the levees back in 2002. This series was written before the funding for the project was cut in 2003 due to the Iraq War and the tax cuts for the wealthy.

To add to it, the New Orleans Times Picuyane also wrote 9 articles in 2004 and 2005 about the cuts in funding to complete the levees. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001051313

Here is the link to the 5 part series...

It's only a matter of time before South Louisiana takes a direct hit from a major hurricane. Billions have been spent to protect us, but we grow more vulnerable every day.

Five-Part Series published June 23-27, 2002

1. More like BILLIONS HAVE BEEN LOOTED BY CORPORATE
DONORS, for frivolous and wasteful projects that haven't protected a single gd person.
