Should the Army Corps. of Engineers be sued?

Question

Isn't this a load of crap.  

A judge authorized a lawsuit against the Army Corps of engineers for failed levees, yet the City of New Orleans took and blew the money given to them by the Federal Government instead of upkeeping the levee walls.  

This goes to show you that there are people there that simply want a free ride.  Now that the Donation dollars and sympathy dollars have run out, they want reperation dollars.  What bullshit.

You are absolutely right.  What was the Orleans Levee Board doing all these years...certainly not what they were paid to do...
seeing to the upkeep of the levees.  And guess what...the Orleans Levee Board is appointed....by the same politicians
diverting the funds to their own pockets. But typical of New Orleans, its always somebody elses fault.

The New Orleans levees were built to meet a Category 3 Hurricane.  Unfortunately the levees are being rebuilt to the same level again.  

Here's a good article from National Geographic about the history - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/09/0902_050902_katrina_levees.html 

And a website with a petition to upgrade the levees to a Category 5 level.  - http://www.savebigeasy.org/

Maybe they should be sued and televise the whole thing. That way we can find out the truth about the miss appropriation of our tax dollars, who were the leading culprits. Then maybe everyone will stop blaming each other and we can find out who is really at fault.
