Commander of the Army's Corps of Engineers reviews Katrina

The commander of the Army's Corps of Engineers conceded that bad levee design and other factors within its responsibility contributed to the flooding of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, but refused to accept all the blame heaped on by critics.

"I haven't enjoyed being the first commander to have to account for the Corps' actions in 200 years, but it was the right thing to do," Lt. Gen. Carl Strock said Thursday. "We have to show people that we are accountable for our actions."
