NOAH's ATM

Whether it is Iraq or here, it is ALWAYS the SAME OLD STORY!

"Files seized from New Orleans group; Nonprofit is focus of Katrina probe" by Becky Bohrer, Associated Press | August 12, 2008

NEW ORLEANS - Federal agents descended yesterday on a nonprofit hired by the city to run a home cleanup program after Hurricane Katrina and were photographed carting off boxes, days after a US attorney announced an investigation involving the organization.

Recent local media reports have scrutinized ties between the former director of the New Orleans Affordable Homeownership Corp., or NOAH, and some top-earning contractors and raised questions over whether some of the cleanup work billed to the city was actually performed.

Agents from the FBI, IRS, and offices of the inspectors general of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the city were at the nonprofit's office yesterday morning, FBI spokeswoman Sheila Thorne confirmed. She gave no details, but said agents didn't show up to execute a search warrant.

WTF? Then WHY are they CARTING OUT BOXES of RECORDS?

A newspaper's photo showed agents wheeling boxes from the building where NOAH operated. NOAH was hired by the city to run a program meant to help low- income and elderly victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Oh, so they ROBBED the POOR and ELDERLY, huh?

What SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
