Elite Engineering Group Does PR Show to Protect Corps of Engineers' Reputation

[lapnola]

@sactowntodd You missed the point. Congress charged the USACE to build the levees. Congress gave the Corps taxpayers' money to design and to construct the levees. Many levees, like the one in the video, failed due to design flaws. As Ms. Rosenthal points out, the presenter blames the designers. Who were the designers? - the Corps! They botched the job, used more taxpayer dollars to cover it up, and maligned those who called them on their eggregious behaviour. Will the same happen elsewhere?

The US Corps of Engineers is just another corrupt government department

Excellent. Simply excellent. It's courage, dedication, and the overwhelming stamina of people like you, Sandy, and Mr. Bosworth, that inspire the rest of us to keep speaking the truth. It's a stretch in this case to say the "cover up was worse than the crime," but it sure comes close. The crime, in this case, being the deaths of thousands due to negligence and ineptitude. The cover up is an outrageous demonstration of the need for an 8/29 investigation.

@ascii3fhex We agree this is yet another reason why America needs the 8/29 investigation.

Thanks for keeping us informed, Sandy.

They should be given a PHD in how to Pass the Buck and shuck accountability. Shame on them all to still be sending this bunck out. Thanks for sharing this, Dorian Bennett

Sandy, sure glad we have you keeping up with all this information about the levees. I see other states are having similiar problems now, with the floodings.

Awesome, Sandy. When has any governmental agency ever admitted culpability and/or responsibility? Whatever "they" do it right, whatever "we" do is wrong; which is why "we" NEED them. One day, I hope, the body politic will wake up and clean house.

Great work, Sandy. Keep up the good fight!

Standard blame shift by those responsible.
