Given that the main cause of the flooding in New Orleans appears to have been fraudulent construction of the 17th St. Canal -- if I recall my Louisiana law, statutes of limitations don't begin to run on fraud until the fraud is discovered.

If so -- there may be a deep pocket to fix things, regardless of whether the Bush administration wants to do so, regardless of whether Congress wants to do so. You see, Louisiana law is a lot more generous for injured people than most states.

I admit I've forgotten most of my Louisiana law but if the statute of limitations hasn't run, I don't see any sovereign immunity issues.

The engineers are saying this is the worst engineering fiasco in American history.
