Explosive Residue Found on Failed Levee Debris
Anonymous:
Who the frig posted that article from Quackilvannia?
OK, it is time to confess and explain why quack sites are such an important news source.
OK, this is a short thread and clicking to the beginning our news hound is:
Deborah
What is this 'outside' of wich you speak?
Perhaps, Deborah, you can put some perspective on this news-quack source posting that goes on here,
there and everywhere by yourself and others?
Deborah:
Just checked and the story (true or false) has been updated:
When he surfaced and showed the evidence to his superior, the on-site Coordinator for FEMA stepped-in and said "You are not here to conduct an investigation as to why this rupture occurred, but only to determine how best to close it." The FEMA coordinator then threw the evidence back into the water and said "You will tell no one about this." At that point, the diver went back down to do more inspection of the levee.
Sounds 'fishy', but stranger things have happened. If it is true and one puts themself in the diver's position... what next? What do you do with the information?
Whether legit or not, this is a good argument for the posibility:

DJ, who are you speaking to:
This story is no more verifiable than "Martians did it." Can you PROVE they DIDN'T? No, of course you can't, but does that mean they DID?
NO, I didn't state or imply that 'they DID'.
It's information. Use it how you will, or not. There is plenty else to discuss around this issue.
What I find curious is the rabid response to information (true or false) in this thread. And the unrelenting 'faith' that humans couldn't be capable of such an heinous act. Again, your choice. If it is not of interest... what draws you back over and over to slam it?
While I despise the man's disgusting racism, there were articles there that were not found elsewhere... such as the La Emergency Operations Plan

Look past the sensationalism to see if there is any information of value. Why weren't the many buses put into service? Why has so much aid been turned away?
PS. DJ you said- The bottom line is that "news" is supposed to be objectively verifiable and needs to be verified by the publisher.
I suppose parents shouldn't listen to what ex students/staff and parents report about programs either; until or unless it has been filtered through a journalist and his/her publisher.
Come on. I know you're more intelligent than that comment suggests. This posting could very well be total BS. I for one would like to talk directly to people who lived close to the breaks. And yep, as gullible as it may sound, depending on their story, I may be more inclined to believe what they have to say over the press.

Hey Deborah,
I wasn't posting "to" anyone, just throwing in my opinion about what a "real" news story actually is.
Do I think for one second that our gov't is incapable of committing atrocities? Nooooo.... I sure don't.
This particular story, though, doesn't make any sense, comes from a thoroughly discredited source and cite absolutely no credible evidence to support it.
As far as my posts go, they're not "rabid" or even "strong." I just use capitals for emphasis, like italics, but I'm too lazy to edit the HTML, so it seems like I'm shouting. I'm actually a pretty measured guy...
