Scott McClellan: Lie du jour 

"Flood control has been a priority of this adminstration since day one."

Much like counter-terrorism was a priority, no doubt

Let's See on C/T:

Ignored warnings from Clinton administration.
Ignored warnings and recommendations of the Hart-Rudman Commission
Ignored warnings from allied nations concerning attacks
Ignored Presidential Daily Briefing
Set up "Cheney Commission" which never had a meeting
Removes Counter-Terrorisim from Cabinet Level
Ashcroft proposes funding cuts

On flood control:

Shelved study involving flood control
Opened up wetlands (known to diminish intensity of surge) for commercial development
Made most drastic cuts ever to funding for repair, maintenance and upgrading levees.
