Army Corps of Engineer tried to stop inquiry

What's Going On With The Army Corps of Engineers?

The leader of an independent team of researchers investigating the New Orleans levee failures has filed an ethics complaint with the American Society of Civil Engineers, claiming executives of that trade organization and the Army Corps of Engineers have systematically attempted to undermine his group's investigation.

University of California-Berkeley civil engineering Professor Raymond Seed led a group whose conclusions at times contrasted sharply with those of corps-sponsored investigations. In his 42-page letter, sent Oct. 30 to the former president of the ASCE, Seed charged that the corps-sponsored probe produced flawed results that absolved the corps of its full measure of blame -- and, more important, led to mistakes in the rebuilding of levees and walls in the area.

Is this surprising to anyone? What does the ASCE have to hide?

Hopefully this will end soon when he is convicted. Washington State Department of Corrections have already been notified about his scams. They know they will have to protect others from him while he serves his time.
