The Army Corps Of Engineers apparently orchestrated an online campaign to attack its critics in re the Katrina disaster floodwalls.

ETA: Sorry for the dead print link folks, I don't understand why I can bring the print story up by searching for "Army Corps Of Engineers" at the 4WWLTV.com website, but can't access the story directly.

3. No surprise!
Between the the Bush mis-administration and the Corps of Engineers, they've colluded to destroy New Orleans.

4. Bushco used to deliver complete "news" stories to TV stations, which would simply broadcast
them as part of their news shows. Saved the stations loads of time and money and served Bushco like subtle propaganda. Your tax dollars at work. Don't know if Obamadmin continues this practice, but I'm guessing it does.

6. Bushco set the bar
Hope not, no one, no administration could be as bad or underhanded as Bushco, they were out of control, or in control, how ever one chooses to see it.
