Letten probing levee breaches

Add U.S. Attorney Jim Letten and the FBI to the growing list of authorities investigating the levee breaches that led to widespread flooding in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
...
"Our interest is primarily to determine if any federal laws have been violated. We're not in the business of deciding whether something could have been done better. We're investigating what we believe are specific matters, conduct, relationships, that may indicate laws were violated.

"The scope of our interest is very broad," he said.

But is this the James Letten who's going after the corruption of Marc Morial, or the James Letten who found a dozen hookers on Canal Street? Let's hope the former.
