Details On The Levee Failures
Back in September Louis Farrakhan charged that divers had found evidence of explosives under the levee breaches in New Orleans. Now, against all odds, there's a competing explanation. From the Houston Chronicle this morning:
Corrupt contractors and poorly coordinated government agencies may have played a role in the failure of the levee system that was supposed to protect New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina, experts investigating the breaches said Wednesday.
Leaders of the independent team said many of the system's maintenance and construction flaws appeared to stem from bad communication and turf disputes among local, state and federal agencies.
Shoddy construction discovered in the worst-damaged levees also suggested a "high likelihood" of corruption among the contractors who built them, said Raymond Seed, a University of California at Berkeley engineer heading the National Science Foundation's investigation of the breaks.
Now, given the two explanations, which seems more likely?

You, sir, are a racist. At least that's what Allah told me when he picked me up and flew me to his orbiting spaceship.
