By now you have either read or heard how the President was supposed to have known days before Katrina that the levees would breach. The latest AP story is being discussed everywhere and there is lots of talk from the Left about the President lying or not caring, etc, etc. Of course, the fact that the actual story is that EVERYONE knew (well everyone except the first responders like Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco) there was a possibilty that the winds could push the storm surge over the TOP of the levees is not the same as the levees actually breaking or BREACHING as they did do, seems to get lost in the telling and even in most of the corrections.
But there is more to this story and the more makes it far more serious, in my view. Read all about it HERE. Can you say CBS and Rathergate?
