feel that may be the case:
During the press conference of former presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush to announce their Katrina fundraising efforts, Clinton got an interesting question from a reporter:
"President Clinton, what do you think about the fact that some of the folks think that the levee was broken on purpose?"
Clinton was taken aback and had no response.
Watch the video at C-SPAN.

On the ABC nightly news this evening they had an interview with a guy from the 9th ward of New Orleans. He had a semi cab, no trailer and when the hurricane was winding down he was out inspecting and heard a loud explosion and saw water pouring through the levee down the street from his house. He grabbed as many friends as he could and they hauled butt up on a bridge that spans the canal the levee was holding back. During the interview they were looking down on the 9th ward from the bridge and you could see the breech. The whole ward is under about 20 feet of water and all of the houses are destroyed. The man described watching both his and his mother's house brought down by the water.

Anyone? MSM last night,-Locals say explosives opened ninth ward levee
Here is the work on this aspect, regarding..it wasn't the hurricane, IT Was The Flood. Please take the time to digest, review this- it did grow as associative connections and necessary background, perspective developed, from the culling of dynamic, interesting and credible input ...naturally blossomed.
They told network reporter that too much dynamite was used to open the canal floodwall, actually not a true levee, to sluice water from high-rent uptown district.
here is the documentation:

Also heard that part of the reason our house flooded is they dynamited part of the levee after the first section broke - they did this to prevent Uptown (the rich part of town) from being flooded. Apparently they used too much dynamite, thus flooding part of the Bywater.

It is being reported that homes in the Bywater section of New Orleans, the 9th Ward,flooded because they (some government entity) used too much explosive to dynamite part of the levee after the first section broke - they did this to prevent Uptown (the rich part of town) from being inundated with water from the Lake. Who is responsible for flooding so many homes-Katrina, or our government?

I am a resident of the Bywater in New Orleans (9th Ward). I am one of the lucky ones that was able to evacuate before the storm.
I have recently managed to speak to some friends stranded in New Orleans. They are starving and dehydrating and there is no news of when they will be receiving food and water. I have spoken to relief efforts and understand that there are plenty of supplies waiting for these people, BUT THEY ARE NOT BEING ALLOWED INTO THE CITY.
