Careful With Words That Can Haunt

I just finished watching the 60 Minutes interview of Ray Nagin.

As Nagin and Byron Pitts examined the new levees, Pitts asked did Nagin believe the new levees would withstand a category 3 or 4, Nagin responded:

"Look at these man. Where are the gonna go".

Everything I have heard states that although the new levees are much improved, there is no way the incomplete work could protect the city.

I sincerely pray Ray Nagin's word do not come back to haunt him.

With Ernesto churning in the Gulf and the anniversary of Katrina, expect waves of hurricane related stories over the next few days.
