We must clarify whether the failure was incorrectly constructed levies or was it the whole system of levies being inadequate. To me from what I heard and read it appears that the category 3 hurricane levies in the most part held and that after the level 5 Storm hit the beach its strength diminished to a 3 anyway. Now that we know where all of the weak spots are why not be satisfied with a category 3 rebuild? Sure the people in NO are scared, but we need to face the cost factors also.
