 WASHINGTON (AP) - One of the bigger casualties of Hurricane Katrina's aftermath has been the truth itself. From federal emergency managers to Democrats, much fingerpointing — and even the promises not to engage in it — have fallen short of the facts.
For instance, the levees that broke weren't ones waiting for Army Corps of Engineer repairs as Democrats have implied. They were ones that had already been fortified, and still failed.
And, yes, some in government did envision long ago that the New Orleans levees might give way in a major hurricane — despite President Bush's comments to the contrary.
