Now, with a completely open mind, what do you people think about this? I am skeptical, but my mind remains open to the possibility.
There are big problems with the situation as a whole that just stink. Like the seizing of firearms. Conflicting reports. All the whitewashing going on the media about how bad it wasn't. Reporters that broke stories coming up missing.
This will likely go down as the next big conspiracy theory. No doubt about it, it has all of the right juicy elements.
Who, what, when, where, and why.
Believe in it or not, it is something interesting to toy with in your mind.

Your so called sources are at best rumor mongers. That does not mean no bomb went off, surely not, but to start the rumor and not be able to back it up can be done by anyone who knows how to type.
Sturgeon's law.
May I suggest that the conspiracy theory assumes a few things? Most do.
It assumes that someone laid the bomb in place some days before Katrina hit.
It assumes that the agent knew where Katrina would hit and how soon it would dump how much rain, and how soon Lake P would be near to overflowing. Right there, credulity is stretched . . . however . . . we can play along, some folks prepare so that when opportunity arises, action is a viable option.
It assumes that the agent was able to stick around during a hurricane and trigger the device at the correct time.
One did not need to blow up the levee to ensure it failed, to ensure that such low lands as it was protecting would go under, just like a lot of low land in river flood plains did along the Missouri in 1993.
The levee was under an ACoE process (incomplete apparently) that was aimed at the known shortcomings of the levee system. With enough water, it would fail without a bomb. That was known by all and sundry, and had been for some time. (Hence the project, albeit slow and or incomplete) to remedy the shortcomings.
Too much Hollywood and Robert Ludlum, or Tom Clancy, in the rumor. Sorry, not buying it.
