Probably ex-levee board members, one in particular, but it's a red herring. She's not in play anymore, outside of tell-all interviews relating past mis-deeds.
Consider this; had the levees not failed, the biggest post Katrina story would be the incredible damage levels in Mississippi. New Orleans got a few trees down and broken glass, till the water started rising. However, once New Orleans flooded, it eclipsed everything else, including mile after mile after mile of utter devastation along the Gulf Coast. That makes the levees the overwhelming key issue involving hurricane Katrina.
The levee issue is like an elephant in the living room, or the US-Soviet standoff in Germany during the cold war. Great powers in a staredown, locked eye to eye, while the real prize sits elsewhere, the Persion Gulf in the simile, and the levee failures in the Katrina debacle.
None of the players are talking publicly. Everything is hidden behind a cone of silence. The only people talking are the professors from Berkeley and University of Louisiana, strawmen for the Liberal stronghold in Louisiana, and the Times Picayune, followed by the rest of the Liberal parrot media, repeating everything the professors say.
But something changed. Huey was under fire for blatant greed and stupidity, trying to collect back pay and dishing out contracts to family members when the whole world is watching. But that was weeks ago and had dropped off the radars. It's possible that it simply took time to maneuver Huey out and set him up as the fall guy for the whole levee mess. That's pretty much what happened with the NOPD and Compass. Stupidity, the Cadillac and ghost employee scandal, and everyone's need for a scapegoat landed the title on the first one to appear weakened.
It's also possible that something new has occurred behind the scenes which we don't know about. When it surfaces, there may not be an obvious connection. The Times Picayune may as well be written by Blanco and the Landrieu twins themselves. If information isn't beneficial to the powers that be, you won't see it in the TP, and frontline sources drop off fast in post Katrina New Orleans after that.
Stay tuned, the real battle is yet to come.
Thank you. :)
