Rove's Katrina Plan Huffington writes: So here is the White House’s Katrina Plan in a nutshell: block any independent examination of its failings, put the Einstein of damage control in charge of reconstructing New Orleans, keep the dead bodies out of sight, try to get away with general platitudes and palliatives, offer watered-down acceptances of “responsibility” while trying to pin everything you can on local yokels and fall guys like Brownie, and let Bush’s corporate cronies get fat on hefty no-bid reconstruction contracts. Read "Karl Rove's Big Easy" No-bid contracts! You've gotta be kidding me. Could your local government get away with it? Is there anything less befitting of a democracy? Will anyone in the press corps ask what possible justification there could be for hiring Fluor, Bechtel, and Halliburton to "fix" New Orleans?
