Preliminary Technical Report to the United States Congress:
I posted this in "Off Topic" on my "News from the Central Gulf..." thread but since I figured a lot don't visit that forum, I might as well post a copy of this document here. The complete text is at the link below
It is an in-depth and interesting read... sheds some VERY important insights for folks who don't realize just how important the Louisiana ports/economy/ and wetlands are to this nation as a whole:

My BIGGEST issue is what I KNEW all along would take place... they simply will NOT get rid of the MRGO.... plans call for "modifications"... big change from right after the storm when the mantra was to CLOSE this monster!.... Well, IMHO, the big bucks will fly, till more people die... because MRGO has just too much "intere$t" in the area, and where that kind of intere$t is, people are a secondary concern. St. Bernard has my deepest condolensces, as this is all but a kiss of death--IMO.
