Library Chronicles~ASCE skin as thin as the Corps' own levees!

Group Bows Down...Assumes Postition~Censors Own Video

Levees.Org in pursuing our goal to expose a possible improper relationship between the Corps and ASCE, have received legal threats from ASCE spawned by our PSA on YouTube We stand behind every word of our PSA, but we, with limited personnel and no corporate sponsors cannot engage in a legal fight with the ASCE and its significant resources. So we have temporarily pulled the video from YouTube.

Censorship, by Self or Government, or by any other name, remains
