Dear Editor,
Contrary to what many believe, the fury of Huricane Katrina was not the real reason for the devastation of New Orleans. That reason lies with the US Army Corps of Engineers. They built floodwalls that were too low, and they were set in soil that was the consistancy of jello. Furthermore, the Corps knew this and did nothing to rectify the problem. We need a federal investigation into the political intrigue that has surrounded the Corps, the politicians, and the corporate oil and gas interests, and has made such a tragedy possible. We have waited too long for this, and the people of New Orleans deserve much more.
