You can tell that "MEN" did this:

Is there nothing about New Orleans that cannot be screwed up at the expense of its residents?

The Army Corps of Engineers released flood risk maps on a block-by-block basis on June 20, but didn't include some technical data, preventing independent assessments of the accuracy of the maps.

The maps showed that the improvements made to the city canals' drainage systems would reduce flooding during a major storm by about 5.5 feet in Lakeview and nearby neighborhoods. The maps were based on a storm that has the likelihood of occurring at least once in 100 years.

But in a report released Nov. 7, Corps scientists estimated that the actual benefit the system would provide would be just 6 inches.

From beginning to end, New Orleans and its poor and middle-class (Democrat voting) population have been the victim of one screw up or act of maliciousness after another. They are either being ignored because of who they are, or purposefully cheated, screwed and disbursed to weaken their political standing and power. Already these screw ups are ignored or blamed on the victims. To the extent they ever come to light in the media it is over-produced to such a degree as to set many peoples eyes rolling as the victims of all this complain. They are no longer allowed to be what they truly are, innocent victims, but whiners and suckers of the taxpayers teat (i.e. "you know how those people are").

Years from now, when the dust settles and the records speak (and hardly anyone cares any longer) the true picture of what happened there will shame anyone who will listen -- and it won't be many.

That seems to be the plan.
