Another Brick in the Floodwall

Now here comes NBC News, adding to the LSU Hurricane Center's conclusions about the defectiveness of the 17th St. Canal floodwall's design and/or construction. Lisa Myers and the network's investigative unit--yes, they still have one--unearthed court papers from Pittman Construction, the now-out-of-business firm that built the floodwall in the 90s, allegedly alerting the Army Corps of Engineers to the weakness of the soil and foundation for the floodwall. The Corps issues a bland statement assuring us that this will be part of their investigation. They'll be investigating whether they reacted properly to the news that they accepted a floodwall the construction company warned them was not properly built? Fox, you take the henouse duty for a while, I'm tired.
