An engineer was on CNN Friday who said when water flows over levees, they break soon thereafter. So if they expected flood waters to exceed the height of the levees, then they surely knew that a breach was possible.

Yup, still a BS comment, as far as I'm concerned.
Of course a levee overflowing will lead to the levee failing... any little kid thats ever played on the beach or in a sand box with water should realize that... but for the benifit of those challenged in that regard think about this - what does the water pouring over the levee do to the clay/earth foundation that the levee was built on?
