Russ Baker recaps the Katrina story that will make your blood boil


This week, WhoWhatWhy marked the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with Russ Baker’s exposé of the real story behind the federal government’s epically botched response to the superstorm’s devastation of New Orleans.  Baker explains to Jeff Schechtman in this podcast that It wasn’t just rank incompetence involving another hapless set of Bush cronies.

That, combined with a desire to “outsource” government services so friends, allies and supporters could make money.
