Engineers state they are in bad condition. Bush Administration says they are in good condition.

Now, who are we to believe? I'd go with the engineers, unfortunately.

And yet, there was Ray Nagin on 60 Minutes Sunday evening, knocking on a repaired levee wall and saying, "Where is this gonna go?"

In through the living room window of somebody's house, I'd imagine.
