This article is more than a bit eye opening. Would the levees have held up under different circumstances? Who exactly was the contractor the Corps used?

Very interesting indeed. The investigative efforts that will ensue will be very interesting to watch.

I'm not sure about the contractors but I know where they are getting the equipment from. Within 2 days of the storm event Army Corp was buying all of the 'damaged' shipping utilities of companies who had previously operated from the port of NO. Cranes, barges and boats. Go figure.
