Lies, Damned Lies, and Politics

October 2001 – “Scientific American : Drowning New Orleans”:http://www.sciam.com/print_version.cfm?articleID=00060286-CB58-1315-8B5883414B7F0000

October, 2004 – “National Geographic : Gone With the Water”:http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0410/feature5/

September 1, 2005 – “George Bush says”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4204754.stm “I don’t think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees.” (Worse, his bluff wasn’t called; see “mediamatters”:http://mediamatters.org/items/200509020001 for one dissection).

This one detail sums up the entire US Government’s response to the disaster; the same bold-faced lies that they’ve been spouting for years.

Of course, one wonders how Canada would react to an equivalent disaster… *sigh.
