They are doing the same thing with Katrina, going after people who were “overpaid” and ignoring what the insurance companies and no-bid contractors have done.

everyone wants to report on the thousands stolen by minor players because that way the incidents look only incidental and the blame rests on a few little guys who are easily caught. to report on the billions that have gone missing is to acknowledge that the problem is much bigger and the blame belongs much higher up. can’t have that!

like you say, lack of oversight is a feature here.
