Cover up.

From The Independent of London

Toxic chemicals in the New Orleans flood waters will make the city unsafe for full human habitation for a decade, a US government official has told The Independent on Sunday. And, he added, the Bush administration is covering up the danger. In an exclusive interview, Hugh Kaufman, an expert on toxic waste and responses to environmental disasters at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said the way the polluted water was being pumped out was increasing the danger to health. The pollution was far worse than had been admitted, he said, because his agency was failing to take enough samples and was refusing to make public the results of those it had analysed. "Inept political hacks" running the clean-up will imperil the health of low-income migrant workers by getting them to do the work.

So once again incompetent hacks that the Bungler in Chief appointed to positions of authority are endangering the health and welfare of the people.

So once again the regime of the most inept individual ever to sit in the White House is striving to cover up yet another monumental f*ck up.

I know I'm surprised, are you? Of course not for it has become painfully apparent over the past 4+ years that not only is Bush a bungler of the first order, he is perhaps the most amoral, ethically challenged individual ever to occupy the oval office. Hell, he has demonstrated that he is the most morally corrupt individual to hold ANY office, ever.

Finally, lest you think that Hugh Kaufman is blowing smoke:

Few people are better qualified to judge the extent of the problem. Mr Kaufman, who has been with the EPA since it was founded 35 years ago, helped to set up its hazardous waste programme. After serving as chief investigator to the EPA's ombudsman, he is now senior policy analyst in its Office of Solid Wastes and Emergency Response. He said the clean-up needed to be "the most massive public works exercise ever done", adding: "It will take 10 years to get everything up and running and safe."

Feeling safer yet?
