Mike Davis and Anthony Fontenot team up for Mother Jones in this article with Twenty-five Questions about the Murder of the Big Easy. Indeed, the most toxic debris in New Orleans isn't the sinister gray sludge that coats the streets of the historic Creole neighborhood of Treme or the Lower Ninth Ward, but all the unanswered questions that have accumulated in the wake of so much official betrayal and hypocrisy.

wow. while i think there are definitely hard questions that will need to be asked and answered, this list seems more like a particularly egregious act of muckraking - the kind of politicization of already real and serious concerns that can serve to scare away those who might have been inclined to help.
All of these are valid questions, but the way they are worded is muckraking as Steven has said. To get answers to why things happened one must try to remain impartial. I can only imagine after interviewing so many people who have lost so much it is very difficult to report without bias.
americans love a good conspiracy theory
