Flood protection money went to Halliburton ..??
maybe cheneys company will rebuild now??

Bunatine Green house knows all..and has said she was intimidated into signing off on no bid contracts

"September 1, 2005 -- Flood protection money to Halliburton = Blood money for the Big Easy. With reports that the Bush administration diverted $250 million in SELA (Southeast Louisiana) Urban Flood Control Program funds from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Iraq, it is time for Congress to sit down with former Corps of Engineers Senior Executive Service Principal Assistant for Contracting Bunnatine Greenhouse. Ms. Greenhouse, who hails from Louisiana and likely knows something about who diverted the flood abatement funds to Halliburton, was fired in retaliation for her June 27 congressional testimony in which she stated that Corps contracts for Kellogg, Brown & Root/Halliburton Iraq infrastructure projects were improperly awarded -- through a no-bid process -- as a result of political influence by Bush and Cheney political appointees in the Army's hierarchy. On August 27, Ms. Greenhouse was removed from her career civil service position just as Hurricane Katrina bore down on New Orleans. Congress should order the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to obtain copies of all Corps of Engineer documents on contracts for Halliburton and the diverting of New Orleans flood control funds to Iraq reconstruction. The possibility that Dick Cheney's firm took money that was to go to New Orleans flood control projects should be a priority for Congress -- which should cancel its Labor Day recess and get back to work before September 12. (Late today, it announced it was reconvening immediately).

It is no wonder that Dick Cheney is nowhere to be found during America's worst natural disaster. When the people of New Orleans discover that Cheney's firm profited at the expense of their loved ones' lives..."
