http://www.legitgov.org/#breaking_news Engineer society accused of
cover-ups in Katrina, WTC probes 25 Mar 2008 The professional
organization for engineers who build the nation's roads, dams and
bridges has been accused by fellow engineers of covering up
catastrophic design flaws while investigating national disasters.
After the [Bush] 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and the levee
failures caused by Hurricane Katrina [explosives] in 2005, the
federal government paid the American Society of Civil Engineers to
investigate what went wrong. Critics now accuse the group of covering
up engineering mistakes, downplaying the need to alter building
standards, and using the investigations to protect engineers and
government agencies from lawsuits.

City for Science and Technology has prepared a proposal that
encapsulates the probabilities of leaking nuclear and radiation
hazards in case of any unexpected nuclear attacks in Iran, the Okaz
Saudi newspaper said.
