Lawsuit Filed Against Oil Companies for Katrina

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) -- A lawsuit seeks what attorneys say could be billions of dollars from a long list of oil companies for damages to wetlands that would have allegedly softened Hurricane Katrina's blow.

The class-action suit, filed in federal court in Lafayette this week, names as plaintiffs "all persons, businesses and entities in the state of Louisiana who have suffered damages as a result of Hurricane Katrina's winds and storm surge."

Huh?

I thought it had something to do with the conservation efforts that supposedly kept any more civil projects designed to keep NO safer from hurricanes at the expense of wetland environments.
