New York Times skriver om Spike Lees Katrina-dokumentär "“When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts", som kommer att visas på HBO under augusti.

The critics and audience will have the final say on whether “Levees” is the thorough examination that Mr. Lee intends. His views are clear. “What happened in New Orleans was a criminal act,” he said, a tragic backhanded slap to poor, black or politically insignificant people. “The levees were a Band-Aid here and a Band-Aid there. In the famous statement of Malcolm X, the chickens came home to roost. Somebody needs to go to jail.”

Kände inte till kyckling-referensen, men den lär ha yttrats efter attentatet på John F. Kennedy och ha betytt ungefär "what goes around, comes around". Korrigera gärna om jag har fel. (Ordstävet "Curses, like chickens, come home to roost" kommer enligt Internets från Chaucers "The Parson's Tale").
